Registration for this event is now closed as we excitedly prepare for Friday!
The Department of Physics and Astronomy will host 115 girls (female, non-binary and trans) currently in Grades 7 and 8 for an online day of activities to engage in the exploration of physics.
Welcome to our Sci Talks... a great online event featuring some of our very own science alumni. This edition of Sci Talks takes on a chemistry focus as we highlight our chemistry and biochemistry alumni discussing projects close to their heart.
Our host for this Sci Talks is Alan Viau, PhD '84 (chemistry)
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.
Department of Physics and Astronomy, Institute for Quantum Computing
We are happy to be holding our third Optics and Photonics Seminar on Thursday, Dec. 2nd, at 4:00 pm. Adrian is interested in the quantum dynamics of various types of physical systems and the application of quantum effects to build new types of detectors and quantum information processors. He will be giving us a talk on quantum control of three level systems implanted using superconducting devices.
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.
