Seminar: Advances in quantum dot lasers and integration with Si photonic integrated circuits

You are invited by the IEEE Electronics Packaging Society (EPS) Student chapter at University of Waterloo to attend a seminar:

Title: Advances in quantum dot lasers and integration with Si photonic integrated circuits

Speaker: Yating Wan, Assistant Professor, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology

There's growing awareness of the lack of diversity in science and the presence of barriers to inclusion. What factors lead to disparities in representation? Why should we be motivated to effect change? What can we do to change things? Will our actions really make a difference? 

Scientists of all backgrounds and genders, have made important contributions in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), but the participation of women remains low in many areas of STEM, including physics.

Sustainable Engineering Design Challenge

The University of Waterloo's Engineers Without Borders Chapter presents our Sustainable Engineering Design Challenge! If you are a high school student passionate about learning more about the engineering design process, excited about talking & learning from current engineering students & professors, and collaborating with like-minded individuals then this event is for you!

Our competition will be on March 20th from 4:30 pm - 8:00 pm where you will be competing in teams of 2-4. You can sign up with or without a team (we will place you in a team with other students). Sign up for a night of learning, innovating, competing, and most importantly, winning prizes!

CPI Talk - Are we ready for the quantum era?

Are you interested in quantum mechanics or cryptography?

Then check out CPI's next event on Feb 28th from 6:30pm to 8:00pm. Learn how quantum computers can create security risks and how we can mitigate them!

CPI's Michele Mosca and Sara Zafar Jafarzadeh discuss why it is important to act now, even though cryptographically-relevant quantum computers are not available.

How I Got Into Quantum: A Graduate Student Perspective

Meet graduate student researchers from science,
engineering, and mathematics and hear how they discovered quantum information
science found their way into research, and how the skills they gained in
their undergraduate studies are helping them develop the next generation of
quantum technology.
