One of the greatest challenges for clinicians during the COVID-19 pandemic has been understanding why some people infected by the SARS-CoV-2 virus experience cytokine storms, while others do not. Using their novel organ-on-a-chip platform, a U of T Engineering research…
Microplastics are common pollutants that can be found everywhere: in the food we eat, in the air we breath, in the Sahara Desert, and in deep oceans. A common way to study microplastics is to collect water/soil/sediment samples in the…
Microplastic debris in major water systems has become a significant issue in recent years. Monitoring microplastic pollution and evaluating its health risks are largescale jobs. Bin Shi, a PhD student from the Department of Material Science & Engineering, strives to…
Water is a limited resource, and a very costly one. On March 22 we celebrate World Water Day, which reminds us to protect this valuable and diminishing reserve. The Department of Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry at U of T…
Dear ChemE community, The province entered the Roadmap Exit Step of its Reopening Plan on March 1, 2022, and as a result, many public health restrictions have been relaxed or removed. The EHS COVID-19 page has been updated: https://ehs.utoronto.ca/covid-19-information/. Policies and…
Pulp and paper production represents one of Canada’s most valuable industries in the natural resource sector. The pulp and paper industry has made significant progress in reducing water usage intensity over the past decades, but its water footprint is still much…
March is Engineering Month in Canada. Professor Molly Shoichet and her lab have been featured in Canadian Living‘s March 2022 issue, celebrating inspiring women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) for International Women’s Day. The article outlines Professor Shoichet’s…
This month, 18 students from the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering earned U of T Student Leadership Awards, which recognizes leadership, service and commitment to the university. Among this group were four outstanding ChemE students. Brohath Amrithraj (ChemE 2T1+1)…
ChemE alum, Don Riddle (ChemE 7T8), has been donating since 1983 and is continuing to support future generations of engineering students with the same incredible opportunities he had as a student. “I know that the university is stretching donor dollars…
In this thesis, the intercalation mechanism in two specific aluminum ion batteries (AIBs), aqueous and non-aqueous, are investigated. The first thrust is focused on aqueous aluminum ion batteries (AAIBs) employing aqueous aluminum trifluoromethanesulfonate (Al(OTF)3) electrolyte due to potential benefits of…
