Supervisor: Professor Zhongwei Chen, Chemical Engineering
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.
The Department of Chemical Engineering is hosting the PhD defence of Maryam Omidvarm, a PhD candidate from the University at Buffalo, Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering.
Committee members:
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.
Supervisor: Professor Mark Pritzker, Chemical Engineering
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 Department of Chemical Engineering welcomes National University of Singapore’s Professor Jun Li for a seminar about novel, supramolecular, self-assembled biomaterials for various biomedical applications. All are welcome.
Please join the Department for Farhan Ahmad's MASc oral exam on his research on post-combustion absorption process using MEA (methyl-ethanol-amine).
Please join the Department of Chemical Engineering on Monday, June 17, for a seminar by Dr. Jeffrey S. Downey, Technical Manager Science and Innovation The Kingston Technology Centre and Managing Director of Innovation for DuPont Canada.
Dr. Downey will discuss the merger of Dow Chemical and E.I. DuPont and the recent separation into three industry leading companies. In addition, he will discuss the opportunities that this has created in Canada and how the Kingston Technology Centre has become integral to the future of the new DuPont.
You are welcome to attend Huabei You's MASc oral exam, in which she will discuss her research applying a multi-scale modelling framework on the NiO-based Oxygen Carrier (OC) particle in order to explicitly consider and understand the effect of reaction kinetics.
