Dr. Juewen Liu is a newly named Tier 1 Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Biosensors and Bionanotechnology. He and his team are developing DNA-based biosensors for detecting things like heavy metal ions in environmental water and lactate in blood.
Roy’s Tier 1 Canada Research Chair has just been renewed, and he’s looking forward to digging deeper into his team’s most recent discoveries, keeping Waterloo at the top of the quantum field.
We are pleased to recognize Dr. Jake Reder (BSc ’97, chemistry) as one of two recipients of the 2024 Faculty of Science Distinguished Alumni Award.
Congratulations to Subha Kalyaanamoorthy, Scott Hopkins, and Roger Melko for being named winners of the 2024 Excellence in Science Research Award winners!
Milena Gojsevic (she/her) is the Co-op Student of the Year for the Faculty of Science. During her work term at Sunnybrook Hospital, she displayed commitment and curiosity towards scientific research. Milena delves into the details of her impressive journey as a clinical research assistant.
Under the guidance of laboratory instructor Leanne Racicot, the chemistry department has achieved a notable milestone by transforming one of its teaching labs into an environmentally friendly space for student learning.
Nyhenflore Delva’s interest in sustainable chemistry began during her undergraduate studies as she explored ways to mitigate negative environmental impacts. She learned that adopting more sustainable industrial chemical processing could provide many benefits.
When talking with Justin Shmordok, currently pursuing his Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry (PhD) degree, he shared that he might not have discovered his love for research without the help of Waterloo’s co-operative education program during his undergraduate degree.
Waterloo quantum scientists are one step closer to developing the materials needed for future quantum devices. They have discovered a method for growing crystalline structures that will act as platforms for robust quantum computing applications.
Teaching the next generation of scientists is a job we take to heart. Our instructors are committed to improving the depth and effectiveness of student learning in the lab, field and classroom.
