Professor Rodney Smith honoured with 2024 Strem Chemicals Award for Pure or Applied Inorganic Chemistry.
Around the world, our Faculty of Science alumni are excelling in their chosen fields. They make significant contributions to their respective industries and their local communities. Their dedication and commitment are nothing short of inspiring.
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.
Thanks to the donors of the Chemistry Program Activation Fund, students now have access to a widely applicable instrument, Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), to study DNA binding.
2023 marked the 20th year on orbit for the Canadian Space Agency’s Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) satellite - Canada’s most successful scientific space mission.
Yesterday, the CGSS and Chem Club teamed up once again to run another successful fundraiser bake sale for the Women’s Crisis Services of Waterloo Region.
Congratulations to Juewen Liu (Chemistry), Linda Nazar (Chemistry), and Will Percival (Physics & Astronomy and the Waterloo Centre for Astrophysics) for representing Science and the university of this list. Liu and Percival are both marking their second appearance on the list, while Nazar has been on the list nine out of the last 10 years. Their work clearly resonates with the research community and their findings have inspired others to push boundaries and explore what’s next in their own research.
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.
Vasily Panferov, a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Chemistry, is one of four recent recipients of the AMTD Waterloo Global Talent Postdoctoral Fellowship.
Last week, Mila Abaeva and Justin Shmordok, 4th year PhD candidates in the Department of Chemistry, visited and connected with student-run chemistry societies of four Atlantic Canada universities.
