Canada holds an important place on the international operator algebras stage. The subject is well-represented by a vibrant community of researchers at several Canadian universities, including many international leaders.

This research should have a far-reaching impact: it allows scientists to forge valuable carbon-carbon bonds used in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, and beyond. A team of scientists from the University of Ottawa has developed an innovative technique to manufacture complex chemical structures from easily accessible substrates, making it one of the simplest and most practical metho...

High Energy Materials (EMs) have played a vital role in shaping the modern world, whether it be through their use as welding materials, propellants, plasticizers or highly efficient combustibles in aerospace or other applications.

Honours BSc (Magna Cum Laude) 2014; PhD, 2022: Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences

When you think back on your elementary school days, you will probably remember conducting fun science experiments, such as elephant’s toothpaste, banana DNA extraction, and bean seed germination. These activities are not only mesmerizing, but also essential to foster curiosity and encourage critical thinking.

Algae and plants aren’t called “primary producers” for nothing. They’re the base of all food webs, and the sugars and oxygen they produce through photosynthesis are what allow every other organism on this planet to thrive, including us. So, if they go down, we go down with them.

“The core facilities program at uOttawa — a unique model that is the first of its kind among the U15 — has essentially democratized access to cutting-edge equipment and reliable high-quality research services and expertise,” says Mohamad Nasser-Eddine, associate vice-president, research support and infrastructure, at the University of Ottawa. “Twelve years of investing in our core facilities have ...

Every year, the University of Ottawa’s Institute for Science, Society & Policy (ISSP) partners with George Washington University’s Institute for International Science and Technology Policy (IISTP) to organize the Bromley Memorial Event. This event, held in honour of the late Dr. D. Allan Bromley, offers an opportunity to graduate students from bo...

At the pandemic’s outset, uOttawa researcher Michael Organ was approached by Toronto Research Chemicals (TRC) to create a flow reactor that manufactures a key molecule used to prepare PCR test kits to diagnose COVID-19. Billions of tests have since been performed around the world thanks to his flow reactor technology.
