Seminar

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) has launched a new seminar series, Quantum Nano Collision (QNC) Seminar Series, to deepen the engagement of the Waterloo researchers who work at the interface of quantum and nanotechnologies. This seminar series will also provide opportunities for senior graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and research associates to present their innovative work along with the faculty members to bring together the excitement around these cutting-edge technologies that would shape our future.

As part of the Water Institute's WaterTalks lecture series, Taher Kahil, Group Leader of the Water Security Research Group at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Laxenburg, Austria, presents "Global water security under changing socio-economic and climate conditions."

How do we prevent, detect, or stop a data breach?

Join us on Dec 1st to find out!

Our guest speaker Daphne Yao discusses data breaches, government regulations, and cybersecurity risks in our newest CPI Talk!

CPI Talks are open to everyone regardless of age! High school students and even non-Waterloo students/staff are welcome to join.

As part of the Water Institute's WaterLeadership training series, the Water Institute, presents, " Improving Bibliometrics for Early Career Researchers” with special guest, Laura Bredahl, a Bibliometrics and Research Impact Librarian from the UW Library.

Join us for a special WaterTalk co-hosted by the University of Waterloo’s Water Institute and The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN), where Juliette Legler, Chair of Toxicology, Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences, Utrecht University, The Netherlands, presents, “Microplastics and Human
Health: Moving the Field Forward.”

In December 2001, the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty released its ground-breaking report “The Responsibility to Protect” or R2P as it is now commonly known. Twenty years later, the norm of R2P remains contested.

Join us on November 11, 2021 at 12:30pm EST as we discuss the complex relationship – both in theory and practice – between IHL and R2P. Register in advance to receive Zoom access link.

Sustainable nanomaterials, such as cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are rod-like nanoparticles obtained by sulfuric acid hydrolysis of cellulose fibres. Several properties of CNCs, such as its availability, low cost, high mechanical strength, large number of surface functional groups, high surface area per volume and aspect ratio have led to an increasing interest in using them for adsorption and controlled release applications. Pristine CNCs were incorporated into hydrogel beads in order to eliminate the need for centrifugation.
