Jordynne Ropat’s combination of academic success and community contribution won her the 2014 President’s Medal.
President’s medalist Jordynne Ropat and Shane Freeman, winner of the Governor General’s Silver Medal, are among this year’s top graduates.
Eugene Kim has developed a formula to measure entanglement - a fundamental property of quantum mechanics - in superconductors.
Quantum computers have the potential to be significantly more powerful than today’s fastest silicon-based processors, and a central ingredient behind their power is a fundamental property of quantum mechanics known as “entanglement”.
Now a UWindsor physics professor has developed a mathematical formalism for characterizing entanglement in an important class of materials, marking an important step in understanding these systems and a potential contribution toward quantum computing.
Third-year biology student Samer Jassar spends a fair amount of time working in the lab trying to understand the various pathways that allow cancer cells to spread.
This weekend, he’ll hit the pathways of east Windsor to raise funds to support cancer research, as well as for those struggling with brain tumours.
A Café Scientifique on June 16 will address issues of cardiovascular health.
Biochemistry PhD student Pam Ovadje and third-year undergrad Daniel Tarade recently presented their research at the Natural Health Products Research Society annual conference in British Columbia and came home with top honours in the oral and poster presentation competitions.
Assisted suicide is topic guaranteed to court all kinds of controversy.
However one place where you’ll get general consensus on the matter is among the students working in the biochemistry lab of Siyaram Pandey, where rather than people, they help cancer cells commit suicide.
“One of the hallmarks of cancer cells is that they forget how to die,” says third-year undergrad Daniel Tarade. “We’re forcing their hand, and causing them to commit suicide.”
Students gather samples from the Detroit River along the shore west of the Ambassador Bridge.
A public lecture Wednesday will discuss the cleanliness of the Detroit River.
Curiosity, great pathos and a liberating splash of humour come together in “Expedition to the End of the World.” The documentary will be screened Thursday.
