John Yeow, a WIN member and systems design engineering faculty member, is the recipient of the 2021 IEEE NTC Distinguished Service Award by the IEEE Nanotechnology Technical Council. The award recognizes his contributions to the council, which include serving as editor-in-chief of IEEE Nanotechnology Magazine. The publication features articles on the latest nanotechnology research and developments.
Yeow, who is the director of the Advanced Micro and Nano Devices Lab and a Waterloo University Research Chair, focuses his research on developing nanodevices and highly selective sensors that will help create new medical instruments for diagnosing and treating disease.
His company, ARTsensing Inc, commercialized the world’s first transparent and flexible radiation detector that measures ionizing radiation delivered to cancer patients during treatment, an invention based on his work.
Congratulations John!

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 centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
