Professor Cathy Chin and her team from the Multidisciplinary Laboratory for Innovative Catalytic Science have several reasons to celebrate! On May 23, 2022, William Broomhead (ChemE PhD student) will deliver a lecture at the 27th North American Catalysis Society Meeting…
Professor Milica Radisic is the recipient of the 2022 Acta Biomaterialia Silver Medal, which honours and recognizes significant scientific contributions and leadership deemed recent and timely. Professor Radisic is a Canada Research Chair in Functional Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering and a…
Short glass and carbon fibres are added to polymers, such as epoxy, to provide stiffness and strength. As the fibres are elastic, they behave like metal springs, but the polymers are viscoelastic, meaning that they undergo creep and stress relaxation.…
Congratulations to Professor Molly Shoichet who will be receiving her honorary Doctor of Science degree on June 13 at 3 p.m. from the University of Alberta. Shoichet is a leading Canadian researcher who has developed breakthrough approaches to treating cancer, stroke,…
A ChemE alumna has been honoured by the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE) and Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) with an Ontario Professional Engineers Award. Jeanette Southwood (ChemE 8T6, MASc 8T8) received the Citizenship Award, for an engineer who has made…
On Saturday, April 30, the University of Toronto Chemical Vehicles (UTCV) student group competed in the 2022 American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Northeast Regional Chem-E-Car Competition. For the first time, UTCV won first place, beating the reigning champion teams…
Fourteen U of T Engineering faculty members and staff, including ChemE’s very own Jennifer Hsu (Jen) and Professor Grant Allen, have been honoured for their outstanding contributions to the Faculty with teaching, research and administrative staff awards. These awards recognize…
On Saturday, April 30, the University of Toronto Chemical Vehicles (UTCV) student group will be competing in the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Chem-E-Car Competition. This competition draws in multidisciplinary design teams from across North America and allows them…
Phosphorous (P) is a critical component of biological processes. Yet, its over-enrichment in water bodies, known as eutrophication, can have detrimental effects on aquatic ecosystems. As a non-renewable resource with no known alternatives, it is important to recover P from…
Microplastics exist all around us — in the water we drink, the food we eat and the air we breathe. But before researchers can understand the real impact of these particles, they need faster and more effective ways to quantify…
