With the occurrence of healthcare associated infections (HAIs), the development of novel antimicrobial materials has drawn significant research attention. However, developing an antimicrobial material that can be long-term effective and environmentally friendly without cytotoxicity is still a technical challenge and normally results in large production costs.

Congratulations to the Department of Chemical Engineering’s Professor Hamed Shahsavan for his recent honour by the National Academy of Sciences in America. He was the lead author of a paper chosen as a finalist for a Cozzarelli Prize, which recognizes the top work published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) in 2020.

Today the Faculty of Engineering has shared detailed and program specific class format plans for September 2021 with our incoming and current students.

Each department has posted details in a LEARN course for current undergraduate engineering students and in a TEAMS channel for current architecture students. These details are based on the information we shared with the Registrar’s Office, which is responsible for University-wide schedules and classroom space.

The Department of Chemical Engineering is pleased to welcome Professor Xiwen Gong, who will discuss her research in emerging low-dimensional quantum emitters for future light sources, including her recent efforts in and vision for developing quantum-dots-polymer composites for wearable display and artificial photonic skin.
