The University of Waterloo will host the Turtle Island Indigenous Science Conference (TIISC), a three-day event focused on Indigenous Science, from May 24 - 26, 2026.
Dr. Brenda Lee has been awarded the inaugural Excellence in Teaching Award presented by the Science Society (SciSoc).
As a PhD candidate in Earth Sciences, Kevin B. White is focused on using stable isotopes as tools for improving the environmental monitoring and assessment of remediation strategies for arsenic as part of a national research program led by the Giant Mine Oversight Board.
This award recognizes Fich’s sustained and visionary leadership in developing and ensuring Canadian participation in groundbreaking infrared and mm-scale astronomical instrumentation.
Researchers in the Faculty of Science have been awarded funding through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Alliance Quantum grants program. This funding supports projects that aim to advance quantum computing, quantum communications, and quantum sensing.
As a chemist, Dr. Yangju Lin tackles the big picture by looking at its smallest pieces. His research combines polymer science with device applications, offering molecular solutions that can help address practical challenges, such as sustainable energy.
The path to medical school begins long before an application is submitted. For science alumnus Ahmed Abdelkader (BSc ’23), that journey took shape at the University of Waterloo.
After transferring to the University of Waterloo, fourth-year Life Physics student Rachel Tagliabracci shaped her academic journey through co-op, community, and global learning.
Congratulations to Jen Parks and Josh Neufeld on receiving the 2025 Excellence in Science Teaching Award (ESTA) from the Faculty of Science.
To better understand the protein ESRP1, researchers first need to understand how this protein behaves under normal conditions. That became the purpose of Jordan Francis’s (MSc ’26) thesis: studying ESRP1’s role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis—essentially, how it helps the intestine do its job.
