The third Sustainable Future Perspectives discussion was held in November and hosted by the À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) and the Department of Chemical Engineering.
Twelve University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ faculty members have been named on the annual  list from Clarivate.Â
In addition, one former postdoctoral researcher and a PhD candidate also made the list.

Researchers at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ have developed a simple, low-cost method for accurately encapsulating core materials (which could be pure liquid or liquid containing suspended functional ingredients) that could make important contributions to a wide range of industry applications.
University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ researchers are developing a new patch that would offer diabetics an affordable, accurate, pain-free, round-the-clock alternative to traditional tests that require pricking a finger for a blood sample every few hours.
And to make it even more user-friendly, potentially life-saving readings from the patch would be transmitted to people’s smartphones.
Motivated by an innate sense of curiosity, WIN member Dr. Norman Zhou has made significant contributions in many areas of engineering over the past 24 years.
Anita Layton, WIN member and professor of Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Pharmacy and Biology, has been named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (RSC). The prestigious RSC award is the highest honour an individual can achieve in the arts, social sciences and sciences. It reflects Layton’s outstanding career as a researcher, academic and mentor. Layton is one of 102 new Fellows elected this year by their peers for their outstanding scholarly, scientific and artistic achievements. Â
A startup company founded by a À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Engineering professor and two of his graduate students has won US $250,000 to expand and commercialize green technology for the packaging industry.

Congratulations to WIN Member, Professor Anna Klinkova for being awarded the 2022 Faculty of Science Excellence in Science Research Awards!
As a child, 2016 Nanofellowship awardee Youssef Helwa (BASc ’15, nanotechnology engineering, MASc ’17, electrical engineering from UÀ¶Ý®ÊÓƵ) was mesmerized by his mother’s stories about the patients she cared for as a surgeon.
