Events

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.

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.

Plasmon Enhanced Optical Properties and Their Biomedical Applications

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.
