The recipients of the 2019 Amit and Meena Chakma Awards for Exceptional Teaching by a Student were announced today by Associate Vice-President, Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs Jeff Casello. Two Science graduate students were among the four winners.
Two researchers at Waterloo Engineering will receive more than $240,000 through a federal program to provide the tools and equipment needed for them to become leaders in their fields.
Ryan Moreira and Jacob Soley, two doctoral students with Chemistry professor and WIN member Scott Taylor, were awarded the 2018 Dr. J. Leopold Koppel Graduate Scholarship for scholastic excellence in biochemistry and/or molecular biology.
Researchers at Waterloo Engineering have created a powder that could be used to reduce greenhouse gases at factories and power plants that burn fossil fuels.
The advanced carbon powder, developed using a novel process in the lab of chemical engineering professor and WIN member Zhongwei Chen, could filter and remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from emissions with almost twice the efficiency of conventional materials.
A startup company co-founded by Waterloo Engineering professor and WIN member Michael Pope recently won $25,000 in seed funding in a pitch competition meant to encourage Canadian innovation.
Evercloak, a cleantech startup that specializes in manufacturing ultra-thin graphene and other 2D nanomaterial films, took first place in the environment and electrification development category of the Ontario Power Generation Ignite contest.
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is making it possible to discover new drugs faster, cheaper and more efficiently.
WIN member Shirley Tang recently received the Outstanding Mid-Career Award in Nanoscience from Nano Ontario for her contributions to the field of nanotechnology.
Tang was given the honour for her leadership in the field. She has an h-index of 19 and her 39 peer-reviewed research papers have been published in prestigious journals such as Nature Nanotechnology and Nature Biotechnology - which have received more than 3600 citations.
Two researchers at Waterloo Engineering have been awarded funding through a federal program designed to advance and maximize the impact of “established, superior research programs.”
Thursday, June 21st marked the conclusion of a successful international workshop at the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN). For the past four days, representatives from the Center for Nanointegration Duisburg-Essen (CENIDE) in Germany and WIN met to discuss opportunities for joint funding proposals and establishing student knowledge exchanges.
