The pioneering work in “chirped pulse amplification” carried out by our own Professor Donna Strickland and her then thesis advisor Professor Gérard Mourou, resulted in the generation of laser pulses of high intensity that could subsequently be used to cut into materials with extraordinary precision. Inspired by Dr. Strickland’s Nobel prize-winning work, this session of GRADtalks focuses on the broad topic of Technology and Health. What are technologies under development today that will potentially redefine healthcare in the future? How are University of Waterloo graduate students applying technology in new ways?

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
