National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women

silhouette of a woman's headCanada changed forever on December 6, 1989 when 14 young women were murdered in a gender-based act of violence at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal. 
This year we will come together as a community, virtually, to recognize the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

The Department of Chemical Engineering welcomes you to hear Professor Boxin Zhao and his former students, PhD graduates Fut (Kuo) Yang and Aleksander Cholewinski, discuss their innovation: a hybrid material composed of a polymer impregnated with a supercooled salt solution, termed sal-gel, that assumes two distinct but stable solid states under the same range of temperatures and pressure.

Women Entrepreneurship Week (WEW) Speakers Series

Women's Entrepreneurship WeekThe Conrad School is hosting a Speakers' Series as part of the annual Women Entrepreneurship Week 2020 global awareness and celebration.

Join us virtually on any of the following dates and times:

Tuesday, November 24th, between 12:00 p.m. and 12:45 p.m.
Thursday, November 26th, between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.

Please join us to hear a webinar by Professor Alison Scott (PhD ‘19), winner of the 2020 Park and Veva Reilly ChE Medal for Proficiency in Research. She will discuss her work on a general framework for the design of polymeric materials, which maximizes experimental resources and optimizes the resulting polymer product’s suitability for its intended application. Professor Scott will discuss two distinct (yet related) case studies to demonstrate that the framework can be useful in many industries and applications and for any type of polymeric material.
