Please save the morning of Friday, September 21 and plan to celebrate with us as we open the doors to the University of Waterloo's newest building, the Mike & Ophelia Lazaridis Quantum-Nano Centre. 
 

Modeling and Optimization of a Micro-Grid: Huatacondo, Isolated Village in Northern Chile Dr. Doris Sáez Department of Electrical Engineering University of Chile With a low population density and many natural resources, Chile's electricity supply shortage is a paradox. The Atacama Desert, Andes Mountains, long coastline and strong agriculture provide the country with abundant distributed renewable energy resources that could, according to recent estimations, largely surpass the fast-growing electricity demand.

On Tuesday, April 17th, 2012, Professor Mark W. Matsen from UK's University of Reading, will deliver a lecture titled "Ultra-low friction between surfaces coated with polyelectrolyte brushes".  This lecture is free and open to the public!

On Thursday, April 12th, 2012, Professor Vaidhyanathan Ramamurthy from the University of Miami, will deliver a lecture titled "Chemistry in a Nanocapsule: Controlling excited state processes through confinement and weak interactions".  This lecture is free and open to the public!
