2021 Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology Research Celebration
You are invited to attend the Friesen lecture featuring Sir Mark Walport, recipient of the 2020 Henry G. Friesen International Prize in Health Research. Sir Walport is a physician-scientist, academic leader, and visionary health research planner who retired in 2020 from his role as Chief Executive of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) which brings together the seven research councils, Innovate UK and Research England. He is a champion of fundamental science in health research, engineering, technology and innovation.
Meet with experts who have taken their academic experience and found opportunities to bring quantum to market. As part of this panel, they will discuss their personal pathway into commercialization including challenges and lessons learned.
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.
Join the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) for Quantum Today, where they sit down with researchers from the University of Waterloo’s IQC to talk about their work, its impact and where their research may lead.
Join us online as we bring together students, donors, faculty, and staff to recognize the accomplishments of our Science students at Waterloo. After the main celebration, award recipients will have an opportunity to network with classmates and faculty members.
The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) is pleased to present a WIN Seminar talk by Professor Qing-Hua Xu from the Department of Chemistry, National University of Singapore.
Scientists of all backgrounds and genders, have made important contributions in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), but the participation of women remains low in many areas of STEM, including physics. What can we do to build an inclusive STEM community? Shohini Ghose, IQC affiliate and Director of the Laurier Centre for Women in Science (WinS) will discuss data that can shed light on where we stand today and describe a practical framework for increasing access and inclusion in STEM.
This virtual talk is free, however registration is required.
