Thinking of applying to graduate school in Science this year or next? Attend our second information session for tips and tricks on how to ace your grad applications. Prof. Martin Ross, the Faculty of Science Associate Dean of Graduate Studies, will give the talk. After his presentation you will have the opportunity to ask him questions and then breakoff into rooms with our department, school, and institute admission coordinators and faculty members to ask more specific questions.

Virtually connect with supports in the Faculty of Science for preparing your scholarship application to NSERC or CIHR. This presentation provides a brief overview of application’s written requirements, with tips on content development from:

• Associate Dean Grad Studies – Martin Ross
• Research Development Officer – Kim Arnold
• Faculty of Science Grad Chairs

Following the presentation, detailed templates will be available from the Grad Chairs or Kim Arnold.

Meet graduate student researchers from science, engineering, and mathematics and hear how they discovered quantum information science, found their way into research, and how the skills they gained in their undergraduate studies are helping them develop the next generation of quantum technology.

Friesen Lecture with Sir Mark Walport

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.

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.
