Title: Nanopores and Light: Controlling Light, Temperature, and Force on Single Biomolecules Abstract: In recent years, nanopores have gained attention as molecular counters, able to detect various species from the smallest of ions to large macromolecules. Nanopores have particularly enjoyed the spotlight due to their ability to linearly scan information content encoded in nucleic acids, and currently, nanopores are an integral part of the MinIon, a device commercialized by Oxford Nanopore Technologies for single molecule DNA and RNA sequencing.
Le Salon de l’emploi : entreprises en démarrage offre à tous les étudiants et les anciens d’uOttawa la possibilité de nouer des relations avec des entreprises en démarrage avant-gardistes, qui cherchent à embaucher des jeunes talentueux.
La mission de cet événement est de faciliter la création de liens entre les entreprises les plus novatrices et originales de la région et les étudiants motivés de Telfer et d’uOttawa.
The third edition of the Startup Career Fair offers students and recent graduates from all faculties and programs of the University of Ottawa the chance to meet selected Ottawa startups and next-generation companies looking to hire young talent.
This Startup Career Fair is part of Global Entrepreneurship Week, the world’s largest celebration of the innovators and job creators, who launch startups that bring ideas to life, drive economic growth and expand human welfare.
Title: An Idiosyncratic Journey Through Academia into Art and Creative Technology Abstract: I share my academic journey from physics into art and design, and describe the projects I created along the way. My change in direction started while I was teaching physics at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte, at which time I started creating a body of work in figurative sculpture. I moved to Toronto for an MFA at OCAD University to pursue this interest, with a thesis that explored the uncanny through puppets, animatronics, and quirky algorithms.
Title: Wet, Wiggly, Weird, and Wonderful – New Discoveries in Nanofluidics Abstract: About 25 years ago, pioneers began to borrow fabrication techniques from the semiconductor industry to make tiny fluidic circuits on chips. That field of research became known as microfluidics, because the chips featured tubes that were smaller than a millimeter.
Title: Ground State Selection in Quantum Pyrochlore Magnets Abstract: The pyrochlore lattice, a network of corner-sharing tetrahedra, is one of the most pervasive crystalline architectures in nature that supports geometrical frustration. We and others have been interested in a family of rare earth pyrochlore magnets with local XY anisotropy, that can display quantum S=1/2 magnetism on such a lattice. I will discuss up to three such magnets, Yb2Ti2O7, Er2Ti2O7 and Er2Pt2O7.
On Tuesday, November 13th, from 11:30 am to 13:00 pm come meet CSIS Recruiters to learn more about what it takes to work at the forefront of national security. Get a glimpse of CSIS’s culture and top secret environment. Learn about the application process and the type of talent the Canadian Security Intelligence Service is looking for. If you want to use your skills to contribute to the security of Canada, CSIS could be the right fit for you. Let’s talk. The event will take place in Morisset, room 221.

Title: Chiral Gold Nanorod and Nanocage Structures Abstract: Multistrand 7-1 helical Au24, Au32, and Au40 structures with three, four, and five gold atoms in the central strand and 21, 28, and 35 gold atoms in the coaxial tube are investigated using relativistic density functional theory.
