Faculty of Engineering Research Colloquium by Professor Ranganathan Sitaram on Precision Neuromodulation and Real-time Multimodal Brain Imaging

RoboHub and ESG Partners will be hosting a panel on Harnessing Robotics & AI For Climate Solutions, which aims to explore how robotics and AI can be applied to climate solutions and how a climate lens can be applied to existing robotics work in areas like healthcare to address climate threats. This event is taking place during CCWX 2025, which runs from November 24 to November 30th.

Faculty of Engineering Research Colloquium by Professor Michael Detamore on Paste-like Biomaterials for Traumatic Brain Injury and Cartilage Repair

Building a startup, venture, or applied project often means making decisions with incomplete information. This practical working session will help participants identify real market signals before spending months on the wrong customer, pricing, message, or channel.

The session is designed for students, graduate students, founders, startup operators, and project builders interested in entrepreneurship, innovation, commercialization, and applied decision-making. Participants will learn how to recognize common decision traps, separate real market signals from polite feedback, and think more clearly about what to test before building, selling, or scaling further.

The session is led by Vivian Wang, an MBET graduate student at the Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business and founder of Growth Partner AI, which was recently recognized as part of Scale Up Canada’s Waterloo 50.

The purpose of this symposium is to bring faculty members from across campus together to share their research activities, highlight their expertise, network with others, make connections, build collaborations, and much more. All involved in all types of microbial research including students, research associates, researchers, and faculty are invited.

The IEEE AP-S, MMT-S, EMC University of Waterloo student chapters are hosting a special IEEE AP-S Distinguished Lecturer Series featuring four back-to-back technical talks on antennas, electromagnetics, radar, RF systems, and applied electromagnetics.

The Water Institute and the Ecohydrology Research Group are pleased to present Hydrobiogeochemistry and health risks of geogenic contaminants in groundwater systems, presented by Yanxin Wang, Professor, State Key Laboratory of Geomicrobiology and Environmental Changes & School of Environmental Studies, China University of Geosciences.
