International Women’s Day Celebration: Coffee Time at WIN
Waterloo Engineering alum CT Murphy (BASc ’23) recently launched CELLECT to improve women’s access to cervical cancer and HPV screening. CELLECT's innovative technology uses nanomaterials in menstrual products to diagnose HPV and cervical cancer using menstrual blood, potentially eliminating the need for Pap smears.

The third Sustainable Future Perspectives discussion was held in November and hosted by the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) and the Department of Chemical Engineering.
Twelve University of Waterloo faculty members have been named on the annual Highly Cited Researchers™ 2023 list from Clarivate.
In addition, one former postdoctoral researcher and a PhD candidate also made the list.
Waterloo Engineering professors Dr. Kerstin Dautenhahn and WIN Member, Dr. Aiping Yu have been elected to the Royal Society of Canada's (RSC) class of 2023, as announced today by the prestigious society.

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a simple, low-cost method for accurately encapsulating core materials (which could be pure liquid or liquid containing suspended functional ingredients) that could make important contributions to a wide range of industry applications.
University of Waterloo researchers are developing a new patch that would offer diabetics an affordable, accurate, pain-free, round-the-clock alternative to traditional tests that require pricking a finger for a blood sample every few hours.
And to make it even more user-friendly, potentially life-saving readings from the patch would be transmitted to people’s smartphones.
Motivated by an innate sense of curiosity, WIN member Dr. Norman Zhou has made significant contributions in many areas of engineering over the past 24 years.
