Events - 2018

Colloidal and bulk block polymer nanostructured materials fabricated via solvent- or polymerization-induced structural transitions have been used in a host of applications ranging from biomedical to energy technologies. In both methods, the resulting nanostructure forms due to a change in the initial environment by either changing the solvent quality or the compatibility between polymers during polymerization.

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) is pleased to present a Distinguished Lecture Series talk by Dr. Arun Majumdar, Jay Precourt Professor of Stanford University, and former US Under-Secretary of Energy, as part of our WIN Research Day and Symposium for Next Generation Energy Systems Thematic Area.

This event will also feature research presentations from WIN members in this area, a panel discussion and a poster session. The event will conclude with a networking mixer to continue conversation.

Civil Engineering to Cell Therapy: Applying Engineering Principles to Medical Product Development

n this WIN Seminar Series, Dr. Peter Khalifah will discuss his seminal research in the area of battery materials. The Khalifah group carries out the design, synthesis, structural characterization, and properties characterization of functional materials, primarily targeting compounds with applications for batteries, solar water splitting, electrocatalysts, and other emerging energy technologies.

New approaches for powder diffraction that extend the spatial resolution, temporal resolution, and sensitivity to defects in studies of battery materials

In this WIN Seminar Series, Dr. Céline Ternon will discuss her work on 2-D Nanonets. Dr. Ternnon is an Associate Professor from the Institut polytechnique de Grenoble, Grenoble, France

2-D Nanonets: from nanostructured material to highly promising macroscale functional devices

Water and Ions at Nanoscopic Interfaces

Water and ions are ubiquitous at several nanoscopic interfaces regulating events ranging from the use of nanoporous graphene for water filtration and functionalized nanochannels for current rectification to controlling the electro-physiological responses of plasma membranes for ion signaling and cell apoptosis.

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) is pleased to present a Distinguished Lecture Series talk by Dr. Zhong Lin Wang, from the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Altanta, GA, United States.
