Events

Have you just finished your first term at Waterloo? Are you concerned about your Fall results? Learn how to calculate your different averages, what academic standings are, and how to interpret them. 

This event will also point students to resources that can help them be more successful in the Winter term.

Join us for casual conversations with quantum researchers.

What makes a superconducting qubit tick? How does experience in a research lab prepare you for working on major projects after graduation?
 

We’ll talk about these topics and more with IQC alumnus Thomas McConkey, now a Microwave Design Engineer at IBM Q, at the next virtual fireside chat.

WatSolve has invited Conor Mlacak, VP of Technology at Loblaw Companies Limited, to answer questions about his career journey, work-life balance, mentorship, and consulting from the perspective of a C-Level Executive.

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.

Join the Institute for Quantum Computing for Quantum Today, where we sit down with researchers from the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) to talk about their work, its impact and where their research may lead.

In this workshop, we’ll focus on researching your ideas. After this session, you’ll be able to: articulate research questions about your problem space, identify key library resources and freely available sources that will help with your market and industry research and articulate remaining gaps in your research.

Hosted by the Indigenous Research team in the VPRI, this session is focused on how non-Indigenous researchers can build respectful relationships with Indigenous communities, particularly in the research context.
