Best-selling author, journalist, and commentator, will be speaking in honor of his father, Graham Gladwell.

The WIN Nano Graduate Student Seminar Series provides an opportunity for nanotechnology graduate students of WIN members to present and discuss their research, to help foster knowledge exchange and dialogue between researchers and across disciplines.

This seminar is free and everyone is welcome to attend.

Join us for a fun and educational whiskey tasting at Buchanan's Chop House and Whiskey Bar in the heart of Calgary. Network and connect with fellow University of Waterloo engineering and science alumni and hear the latest updates from each Faculty. This alumni event features an educational whiskey tasting, appetizers, and talk by Buchanan's whiskey expert. 

The Waterloo Engineering alumni reunion in 2017 is taking place on September 30, 2017 and the engineering Classes of 1962, 1967, 1972, 1977, 1982, 1987, 1992, 1997, 2002, 2007 and 2012 are invited to campus to celebrate this milestone.

Join your classmates for a weekend of reconnecting, attending lectures, and celebrating together at the Reunion dinner.

Revisit. Reunite. Relive.

The Biomedical Discussion Group presents on a variety of topics within biomedicine or technologies that could be applied within the biomedical field.

Meet and mingle with our researchers. Connect the dots and get energized by our talented young entrepreneurs and emerging leaders at the most innovative University in Canada. This is a ‘meet-up’ of academic, industry & government experts who have come together to share insights & new ideas for our energy future.

Panel presentations, posters & discussions focus on:

• Energy Transitions For a Decarbonized Economy: How Fast and at What Cost?

• Low Energy Green Buildings: What Can Innovation Do?

The WIN Nano Graduate Student Seminar Series provides an opportunity for nanotechnology graduate students of WIN members to present and discuss their research, to help foster knowledge exchange and dialogue between researchers and across disciplines.

This seminar is free and everyone is welcome to attend.

What are the practical uses of artificial intelligence and how can it give the Canadian economy the push it needs without relying on the giant tech companies?

Environmental scientists and engineers often require calibrating and testing their models against observed data. Despite major research efforts by the hydrological community, both topics present formidable challenges, both in operational and research settings.

Coffee and light refreshments provided.

Description

The first half of the talk reviews recent advances in uncertainty quantification in catchment-scale hydrology, from operationally-oriented advances in residual error modelling to the fascinating direction of uncertainty decomposition.
