Faculty

First-year Chemical Engineering students displayed their engineering design skills at the first annual CHE 180 Design Symposium in PSE on November 26, 2019.

The symposium was the culmination of an open-ended design challenge that required them to design, formulate and produce handcrafted soaps. Forty teams of students were on hand to discuss the projects they completed during CHE 180: Chemical Engineering Design Studio 1 and give visitors the opportunity to try their soap.

Please join us to learn about opportunities for research at the Canadian Light Source from Dr. Ning Chen, Canadian Light Source’s Senior Staff Scientist, Beamline Responsible.

Hack the Plastics

Have you ever wanted to join a hackathon, but thought it was only for coders? Well, Hack the Plastics wants you! Hack the Plastics is a broad skilled hackathon that does not require a coding based final product and will happen from 28th Feb – 1st March, 2020 at the University of Waterloo. You will be tackling ways to fight single use plastic pollution using microbes and producing a technical solution, business plan, and pitch.

You are invited to attend Mina Rafieishishavan's PhD defense, where she will discuss a practical and systematic method for integrating design and control that she has applied to medium-scale and large-scale applications.

Seminar | Development of Advanced Metal-Based Energy Storage Systems, by Dr. Denis Y. W. Yu

Please join us to hear Dr. Denis Yu from the School of Energy and Environment at City University of Hong Kong speak about a new metal-metal battery that is free from complex material synthesis processes and can turn cheap and abundant metals into potential high-voltage batteries.

Abstract

You are invited to join the department for a seminar by Dr. Patrick Lee on his research on the process-structure-property relations of multiphase lightweight polymer foam structures and University of Toronto’s foam processing and characterization capabilities.

Please join the Department of Chemical Engineering for a seminar on the application of nanostructured materials to address challenges in sustainable energy conversion/storage and the environment by Dr. Shuhui Sun from Montreal’s Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique.
