CEPS alumni reunited for Alumni Reunion Weekend, celebrating CHEM 150 and ENG’79.
Dr. Justin Slater has been awarded the 2024 Banting–CANSSI Ontario Discovery Award in Biostatistics. Dr. Slater’s project, “Statistical Emulators and Discrepancy Functions for Agent-Based Models for Hepatitis C Virus (HCV),” seeks to improve the tracking of HCV, which spreads through activities like drug use and sexual contact. By developing advanced statistical emulators, he aims to speed up and refine agent-based models that simulate HCV dynamics, including undiagnosed cases.
U of G professor introduces a simplified method for solving resonantly forced linear ODEs.
Nicholas van Heijst, Physics PhD student working with Dr. John Dutcher, was chosen top three best student oral presentations for his talk at the recent Nano Ontario Conference at Western University held on June 18-19. This year's conference spotlighted soft matter and biological interfacial reactivity at the nanoscale. Nicholas' work focuses on finding novel and simple ways to solubilize hydrophobic molecules using safe and naturally-ocurring nanoparticles called phytoglycogen.
