WIN Summer School on Sustainable Nanotechnology 2023
In June 2023, WIN hosted its first Summer School in Nanotechnology and invited outstanding undergraduate students in STEM from across the country to visit WIN and learn about the cutting-edge research conducted by our WIN members.
Dr. Veronika Magdanz, WIN Member, and assistant professor in systems design engineering at the University of Waterloo, is researching the potential of sperm-templated soft magnetic microrobots to treat cancer, infertility and more.
By uniting bovine sperm with microtubes, Magdanz found that the sperm could effectively move the microtubes around. This discovery laid the groundwork for the creation of IRONSperm.
