Seminar

Please join the Department of Chemical Engineering on Friday, May 31, for a seminar by Dr. Blanka Sharma, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Florida. She will speak about her research on the development of biomaterials and targeted therapies that direct the functions of stem and immune cells for applications ranging from tissue repair to cancer therapy.

The Tsinghua-Waterloo Joint Forum on Advances in Energy and Environmental Technologies will bring together leading experts in the fields of sustainable energy management, novel energy production, biofuels, pollution mitigation, fuel cells, and next-generation rechargeable energy systems.

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

Please join the Department of Chemical Engineering on Monday, May 6, for a seminar by Dr. Barbara Chan, a  professor from the University of Hong Kong’s Biomedical Engineering Programme. She will speak about her research team's multiphoton-based 3D microprinting technology's capability to fabricate complex protein microstructures and micropatterns.

With rapidly mounting environmental concerns coupled with the accelerated depletion of fossil fuels, there is a significant demand for the development of advanced technologies for environmental remediation, as well as for the production of alternative energy transformation and storage devices. Nanostructured materials with high surface areas have garnered significant interest due to their unique properties and numerous impressive applications spanning electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, energy conversion and storage, sensors, and wastewater remediation.

All undergraduate students are welcome to attend a lecture titled Introduction to Dynamic Programming, by Dr. Yu Luo, a postdoctoral researcher from the University of Delaware’s Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.
