Join us on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, for a one-day interdisciplinary workshop, hosted by the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN), that will bring together scientists measuring the environment with those developing sensing technologies. The day will include presentations, breakout discussions, and networking with the goal of identifying ways we can collaborate to advance technology for environmental measurement.
Workshop Agenda:
9:00 a.m.:
- Welcome and Opening Remarks by Professor David Clausi, Associate Dean – Research & External Partnerships; Professor – Systems Design Engineering
- Opening Remarks and Global Environmental Measurement and Monitoring (GEMM) Introduction by Professor Donna Strickland, 2018 Nobel Prize Recipient; Professor – Physics and Astronomy;
Morning: Presentations and Breakout Sessions
12:00 p.m.: Networking Lunch
Afternoon: Presentations and Breakout Sessions
4:30 p.m.: End of Workshop
