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 theÌýAMTD À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Global Talent Postdoctoral Fellowship.

Have you ever noticed green scum on the surface of a lake? Cyanobacteria are a type of algae that can cause harmful blooms. Harshina Brijlall, a PhD in Biology student, is working to identify potential algal toxin-producing markers and understudied bacterial communities to aid in lake management.

Josh Crone, an undergraduate lab development specialist at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, recently scored a win in the 2023ÌýGentec-EOÌýLaser Lab Awards. This global competition is dedicated to enhancing optics labs in educational institutions, ensuring students have access to industry-leading measurement instruments. Collaborating with Nobel Laureate Donna Strickland, Crone paved the way for the win by developing a compelling narrative on how this equipment would benefit physics education at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ.

Dr. Chris Houser, Dean of the Faculty of Science, and Dr. Suzanne Kearns, Founding Director of the À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Institute for Sustainable Aeronautics, have announced a new Pilot in Residence position at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ – the first role of its kind in Canada.Ìý

The University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ was thrilled to welcome students and researchers from across the country over the weekend for the 59th annual Canadian Undergraduate Physics Conference (CUPC).ÌýThe conference provided a platform for over 100 students to showcase their research through co-op work terms and internships to leaders in the industry.

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.

Andree Coschizza’s research revolves around low-temperature physics for quantum computing applications. One of the main barriers in quantum computing is that the necessary two-level quantum systems only become prominent at very low temperatures (often below 100 mK).

You have probably seen Phragmites australis in the wild—but did you know it is Ontario’s worst invasive plant species? Jersey Fontz, a PhD student in Biology (Water) is developing a seed mix to promote the growth of native species instead of invasive species after invasive species removal.
