Please join the NSERC CREATE ME2 and Waterloo Electrochemical Society Student Chapter (WatECS) for a webinar about the porescale modelling of electrochemical devices, with a focus on the structure-performance of lithiumion cathode materials and PEMFC catalyst layers. This talk will focus on the pore network approach to modelling electrodes at the pore scale, which offers the ability to study the structure-performance relationship in substantially less computational time than conventional computational approaches.   

Join us to learn about Professor Megan Yi-Ping Ho’s research into using DNA nanosensors and microfluidics to identify and validate new molecular biomarkers. The Department of Chemical Engineering is pleased to have Professor Yi-Ping Ho share information about her efforts to help interrupt disease transmission and enable precise predictions of treatment response or disease progression.

Please join us online to hear alumnus Don Tu (BASc 2018) talk about his experiences – both as an undergraduate chemical engineering student and in his current career as a process engineer in training at Hatch Ltd. He will share details about the challenges he faced and how he used the skills and training he learned as an undergrad to succeed in a new field. Take advantage of this opportunity to learn about some real world experiences from a recent UWaterloo Chemical Engineering grad.

The Department of Chemical Engineering is hosting UBC’s Professor James Feng who will talk about Modelling Collective Migration of Biological Cells. Please join us to learn about Professor Feng’s research.

You are welcome to join the Department of Chemical Engineering to Professor Yong Yang’s seminar on using biomaterials and polymer micro-/nanoengineering approaches to engineer biomimetic organ chips that recapitulate the key anatomical and physiological characteristics of human organs.

Please join the Department of Chemical Engineering to hear Professor Dorval Courchesne discuss her work to engineer curli fibers produced by Escherichia coli bacteria and confer them with properties relevant for biomedical devices.

The Post-COVID-19 Reboot is a weekly webinar series hosted by the University of Waterloo GEDI that brings together research experts and representatives from some of Canada’s leading corporations and startups to discuss strategies for emerging from the pandemic and adapting to this “new normal.” Join us on June 18 for "Rebooting with Research: Viral detection and mitigation". Registration required.
