July Graduate Studies Seminar Series

Thursday, July 21, 2022 3:30 pm - 4:45 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

Join us to learn more about the exciting research being conducted by masters students in the Chemical Engineering department. 

To graduate, MASc students must complete a degree milestone by presenting one research seminar before submitting their thesis. This term's series of MASc seminars, which will be assessed by the presenters' supervisors and one member of the Graduate Research Council, will include the following:

Presenter Seminar

Alfonso Izquierdo, supervised by Professor Simon

Recycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET) using chain extenders via reactive extrusion (REX)

Scott Flynn, supervised by Professor Li

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Ethynyl-Substituted Thiophene Semiconducting Materials for Organic Solar Cells

Elizabeth Miller, supervised by Professor Pope  Intrinsic Catalytic Effects of Graphene and Its Derivatives in Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries
Theeran Kanthan, supervised by Professor Pope Development of freestanding CNF films to support ultrathin nanomaterial membranes
Natalie Pinchin, supervised by Professor Shahsavan Liquid Crystal Elastomers with Magnetic Nanoparticles and Self-Healing for Complex Actuation and Locomotion

All graduate students are welcome  - and encouraged! - to attend these seminars. Each student that attends the full hour of seminars, including those presenting, will receive credit for seminar attendance.
