Researchers have created a portable version of a tiny, powerfullaser device with potential applications in fields ranging from medical imaging to detecting hidden explosives.

In a project involving the University of Waterloo and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), scientists developed a quantum cascade laser capable of operating at temperatures much higher than previously possible.

Congratulations to Chitral Angammana, Ryan Gerakopulos and Shesha Jayaram for being selected as recipients of the 2019 Innovation Award by the IEEE IAS Electrostatic Processes Committee, for their paper entitled “Mass Production of Nanocomposites Using Electrospinning.”

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) has partnered with Japanese accelerator Landing Pad Tokyo (LPT) to bring University of Waterloo developed technologies to the Japanese market.

“The goal of this partnership is to help Waterloo companies enter the Asian market, and to accelerate the research and development of new technologies through partnerships with Japanese businesses,” said Sushanta Mitra, Executive Director of WIN.

It is with great sadness the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering announces the sudden passing of Jason Arbour, a second year computer engineering student. His family states "Jason was a loving, thoughtful soul and his life ended far too soon.  We are grateful for the friendships he made at UW and the communities he was a part of.”   

Today, the University offers its sincere congratulations to its members who are being honoured with the President’s Excellence in Teaching and Research awards.

Typically, the celebration takes the form of an in-person reception event, but this year the University is celebrating the achievements of the award winners virtually with the entire campus. To see the full list of recipients, visit the Excellence in Teaching and Research website.

A graduate student at Waterloo Engineering is the inaugural winner of a new scholarship for women in the field of quantum information science.
