The solubility of a “water-fearing” compound improves with the help of a natural nanomaterial in the Dutcher lab.

Shaiza Hashmi, Computer Science student in the College of Engineering & Physical Sciences was awarded the Brian D. Sullivan Student Leadership Award from Student Experience. This award is presented to a graduating student who has made significant contributions to student leadership through their involvement as an elected or appointed student representative at the University of Guelph. 

We spoke with three Creative Encounters instructors about empowering youth in STEM.

Researchers at the University of Guelph explore modeling of sweet corn-derived dendrimers for advanced medical applications. 

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. 

Researchers pioneer novel approach for efficient detection and mitigation strategies for soil erosion.
