The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) has launched a new seminar series, Quantum Nano Collision (QNC) Seminar Series, to deepen the engagement of the Waterloo researchers who work at the interface of quantum and nanotechnologies. This seminar series will also provide opportunities for senior graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and research associates to present their innovative work along with the faculty members to bring together the excitement around these cutting-edge technologies that would shape our future.

The next talk for the QNC Seminar Series will be delivered by Professor Kevin Musselman.

All students are invited to meet prominent women in nanotechnology to hear about their history, exciting research, and how they chose their successful career paths. This seminar will provide valuable information to all students, particularly female students, who may be interested in graduate work and careers in S&T but do not know what avenues are open to them.

Information Session on How to Prepare a Successful Application: An information session on the WIN Nanofellowship Award will be held immediately after, designed to help with questions about the application procedure and other details related to the scholarship.

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) has four main thematic research areas; Smart and Function Materials, Connected Devices, Next Generation Energy Systems and Therapeutics and Theranostics. To showcase the work going on within these areas, we will be holding monthly WIN Thematic Seminars featuring our members and their research group members.

For the second event in the series, Professor Vassili Karanassios from the Connected Devices theme will be giving a seminar on "Applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Spectral Interference Correction in optical emission spectrometry and of Machine Learning for development of nano-materials for sustainable energy"

Are you interested in quantum mechanics or cryptography?

Then check out CPI's next event on Feb 28th from 6:30pm to 8:00pm. Learn how quantum computers can create security risks and how we can mitigate them!

CPI's Michele Mosca and Sara Zafar Jafarzadeh discuss why it is important to act now, even though cryptographically-relevant quantum computers are not available.

This session seeks to share lessons learned regarding embedding EDII into grant applications. Dr. Trevor Charles will discuss his experience embedding EDI principles to his research group and in a recent NSERC grant application.

The Canadian Graduate Engineering Consortium (CGEC) brings together six of Canada’s top universities to address the urgent need for qualified engineers who can solve today’s most complex technical, social and environmental challenges.

A unique and progressive recruitment initiative, the Consortium is hosting a free virtual fair, to provide you with an opportunity to learn more about the value of a graduate engineering degree and explore your options.

Register to join the event hosted on Hopin taking place on October 6, 2022 from 1-4pm EDT.

You will have the chance to connect LIVE with current students, faculty and recruitment representatives from six of Canada's top engineering institutions:

McGill University | McMaster University| Queen's University | University of British Columbia | University of Waterloo | University of Toronto
