Alison Scott, a MASc candidate in Chemical Engineering, has been awarded the Canadian Engineering Memorial Foundation's Vale Master's Scholarship. Each year, the prestigious scholarship is awarded to one female engineering student enrolled in a Master’s program at a Canadian university. See the full story here.
Scott's research in Polymer Reaction Engineering, under the supervision of Prof. Alex Penlidis, has dealt with a wide variety of topics, including controlled radical polymerization, crosslinking systems, multivariate statistical analysis, reactive processing, and water-soluble copolymer and terpolymer systems. She is also passionate about engineering outreach and education, and works part-time with Engineering Science Quest and Women in Engineering at the University of Waterloo.
