ABSTRACT:  Chemical engineers creatively fuse the physical and chemical sciences with biology and mathematics to design processes and products that improve people’s lives. Our research group at the University of British Columbia has interpreted this compelling vision quite literally, and we pass our time applying chemical engineering to address some of the most pressing challenges in health and medicine. My seminar will detail two endeavours that sit at either end of the drug discovery and development pipeline.

ABSTRACT:  In commercial Li-ion batteries, well-ordered close-packed oxides, particularly, layered lithium transition metal oxides, LiTMO₂ (TM = Ni, Mn, Co, Al), are widely used. Despite the high theoretical capacity of these layered oxides (> 270 mAh/g), they are typically operated to deliver a capacity of less than 200 mAh/g to attain good cycling and safety attributes.

ABSTRACT:  This talk will focus on presenting many of the new and exciting developments in thin film deposition technology which are required by many of today’s high performance applications, such as semiconductors, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic and perovskite photovoltaics, superconducting and magnetic devices, precision optics, and more.

ABSTRACT:  It appears that innovation means at least several things to different people – any new product or service, value creation or a particular “culture of innovation.” But these and many other “interpretations” of innovation are less meaningless, as this author believes In fact the only thing that matters is whether an innovation creates impacts such as wealth / job creation and social advancement. And the only metric for determining that wealth is net cash flow.
