A chemical engineering professor has joined an elite group of scientists worldwide as the recipient of a early career award in polymer processing.
Dr. Milad Kamkar, who joined Waterloo Engineering last year, is the 2023 recipient of the Early Career Award from the Polymer Processing Society (PPS), which recognizes the creativity, innovation and productivity of early career researchers in polymer processing.
A detailed analysis by Waterloo Engineering researchers showed there is a need to improve diets in long-term care (LTC) homes to make them healthier for residents.
The analysis found that eating more whole grains, plant-based proteins, and plain fruits and vegetables would help residents meet government guidelines and reduce their risk of inflammation.
A professor at Waterloo Engineering has been recognized for his outstanding supervision of graduate students.
Dr. John Long is one of three campus-wide recipients for 2022-2023 of the Award of Excellence in Graduate Supervision, an annual distinction bestowed by Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs in collaboration with the Graduate Student Association.
Dr. Ravi Mazumdar, an electrical and computer engineering professor at Waterloo, has been elected as a fellow of the Asia-Pacific Artificial Intelligence Association (AAIA).
Mazumdar joins a prestigious group of worldwide fellows whom AAIA executives elect for their development and application of AI through academic research, science education and academic publications.
The UW Alumni Women in Technology Entrance Scholarship was established by the Elliott family with an initial donation of $10,000 in 2020. Andrew Elliott (BASc ‘85, chemical engineering) and his wife Donna Elliott (BA ’85) met when they were students at Waterloo. Their two daughters, Sarah Elliott (BASc ‘14, systems design engineering) and Carolyn Elliott (BAFM, ‘18), are alumni too.
So far, the scholarship has benefitted six women students including Rachel Wormald.
