Research touts lower-cost, longer-life battery
New materials engineering research led by Western could translate into significant real-world benefits like greater range for electric vehicles and longer battery life for cell phones.
Contest puts a sharp focus on science
Two Western PhD students have a sharp focus on their love of science and are now among the Top 20 finalists for the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Science Exposed contest.
Discovery Grants back 75 research projects
Seventy-five university research projects across seven faculties received more than $13.8 million in Discovery Grants from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
Joint research on target for arthritis sufferers
In an example of research matchmaking at its finest, Physiology and Pharmacology professor Frank Beier and Chemistry professor Elizabeth Gillies have joined forces to tackle the debilitating effects of osteoarthritis.
Hadis Hayatdavoudi: ‘Like losing a family member’
Western remembers the lives of four graduate students – Hadis Hayatdavoudi, Milad Nahavandi, Ghazal Nourian and Sajedeh Saraeian – who died aboard Ukraine International Flight PS752.
“حدیث حیات داوودی: “مثل از دست دادن عضوی از خانواده بود
در ذهن و خاطره استاد شیمی، جیمی نوئل، حدیث حیات داوودی همیشه دانشجوی شجاع و خندانی خواهد بود.در داقع حدیث اولین نفری بود که برای شروع تحصیلات دکتری به دفتر استاد در سپتامبر 2018 مراجعه کرد.
Season’s greetings and selections
Why settle for only a handful of selections this time of year, when you can also receive a holiday season bonus, as well, when Chemistry professor Mark Workentin takes a turn on Read. Watch. Listen.
Research looks for results that ‘outlive us all’
Western research into the developing and testing nuclear waste storage technologies was recently showcased as officials from the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) paid a visit to Western for a high-level update on the progress of their work.
