University of Waterloo chemical engineering professor Bill Anderson continues his work to mitigate the shortage of protective gear needed by healthcare workers during the COVID-19 crisis by enabling the safe re-use of existing equipment.
Professor Bill Anderson from the Department of Chemical Engineering is applying his expertise with UV-C disinfection to tackle a timely and potentially life-threatening problem: the shortage of N95 filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) that protect users from particles and aerosols in the air that they breathe.
Congratulations to Christopher Deutschman, Keith Cleland and Sabrina Mattiasi for their first-, second- and third-place finishes in Chemical Engineering’s Three Minute Thesis (3MT) department heat on February 4th.
How do you decide what is safe to put on your body? Jenise Lee, a Chemical Engineering alumna (BASc 2006), provides the information you need to make educated choices about your skincare products.
Professor Hector Budman, a process systems engineering specialist who conducts multi-disciplinary research in the pharmaceuticals, water treatment, minerals processing, and pulp and paper industries, was recognized with the 2019 Faculty of Engineering Award of Excellence in Graduate Supervision at the Engineering Faculty & Staff Awards Dinner in E7 last night.
First-year Chemical Engineering students displayed their engineering design skills at the first annual CHE 180 Design Symposium in E7 on November 26, 2019.
The symposium was the culmination of an open-ended design challenge that required them to design, formulate and produce handcrafted soaps. Forty teams of students were on hand to discuss the projects they completed during CHE 180: Chemical Engineering Design Studio 1 and give visitors the opportunity to try their soap.
