Seminar

Noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been known to display unique localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) property, which could be utilized to significantly enhance optical responses of metal NPs themselves and nearby chromophores, such as Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), metal enhanced fluorescence and Plasmon enhanced nonlinear optical (NLO) responses.

Presented by Carter School Lemkin Genocide Prevention Program and The Center for Peacemaking Practice.

Co-sponsored by the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame, The Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies at the University of San Diego, and the Peace and Conflict Studies Program at Conrad Grebel University College.

Join us for Quantum Today, where we sit down with researchers from the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) to talk about their work, its impact and where their research may lead.

Join us for Quantum Today, where we sit down with researchers from the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) to talk about their work, its impact and where their research may lead.

This month, IQC PhD students Andrew Cameron and Connor Kapahi will discuss their recent collaboration, in which they use hybrid quantum entanglement to remotely control the shape and structure of a single photon. Learn more about quantum optics and structured light in this conversation moderated by John Donohue.

As part of the Water Institute's WaterTalks lecture series, David Sedlak, Plato Malozemoff Professor, Director, Berkeley Water Center, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, USA will present: The Next Water Revolutions.

Women in Nanotechnology Seminar:
All students are invited to meet prominent women in nanotechnology to hear about their history, exciting research, and how they chose their successful career paths. This seminar will provide valuable information to all students, particularly female students, who may be interested in graduate work and careers in S&T but do not know what avenues are open to them

Information Session on How to Prepare a Successful Application:

Water challenges are complex and require innovative solutions. The application of nanotechnology in the water sector offers real opportunity for breakthrough innovations that will contribute to the more sustainable use and management of water.

Whether from COVID or climate change, we’ve all got a lot of anxiety these days. The Netflix hit film "Don’t Look Up," with its astronomical analogy for climate change, strikes some as cathartic and others as anxiety-inducing. But now what? Can a fictional film, and the associated anxieties, actually create change? What do we do with these feelings that persist beyond the screen and what other ways might fiction aid navigation of our climate realities?

As part of the Water Institute's WaterTalks lecture series, Amy Pruden, W. Thomas Rice Professor, University Distinguished Professor, Via Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Virginia Tech, USA will present: Harnessing 'Omics to Inform Strategies to Mitigate the Spread of Antimicrobial Resistance as a One Water Challenge.

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) has four main thematic research areas; Smart and Function Materials, Connected Devices, Next Generation Energy Systems and Therapeutics and Theranostics. To showcase the work going on within these areas, we will be holding monthly WIN Thematic Seminars featuring our members and their research group members.
