Yuning Li became the Editorial Board Member for Advances in
Nanoparticles and AIMS Environmental Science in 2013, and
continues to serve as the Associate Editor of Materials Focus and
the Editorial Board Member for Organic Photonics and Photovol-
taics. He was included in the Marquis Who’s Who in the World
2013, and the AcademicKeys Who’s Who in Engineering Higher
Education.
In 2013, Yuning’s research group developed a polymer semicon-
ductor that broke the world record electron mobility of 6.3 cm2V-
1s-1 in organic thin film transistors.
During the winter of 2013, Chandra Mouli Madhuranthakam taught
the final class of Chemical Eningeering students at the Dubai
campus. In addition to teaching these first year students, Chandra
gave a seminar on optimal tuning parameters for PID controllers, a
part of the Donal Edward Grierson Memorial Secminar Series on
the UAE campus.
While in Dubai, Chandra visited the Petroleum Institue regarding
research collaborations with some of their faculty.
In 2013, Neil McManus acted as an interim lab instructor for the
Nanotechnology Engineering program, assisting in the first year of
assigned lab exercises in the newly opened Quantum-Nano
Centre. The work on these exercises continues for Neil, with a
critical examination of current experiements in the Nanotechnology
program and potential changes in content.
Neil’s research on water soluble polymers that have potential as
process additives for oil recovery has led to new publications and
presentations at the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering
and the Institute of Polymer Research Conference. He also
continued research in the melt phase modification of commodity
polymers, with the results presented at the Society of Plastic
Engineers conference.
Murray Moo-Young continues to contribute to the Chemical
Engineering department as an active researcher, HQP trainer and
invited speaker at conferences worldwide. In 2013, he served as a
board director for the Centre for Bioengineering and Biotechnol-
ogy, and acts as editor-in-chief for the Biotechnology Advances
journal.
Murray initiated potential collaborations between faculty members
at Waterloo Engineering and Coestoga Collenge, in a major thrust
by the Cities of Waterloo and Cambridge for food processing
technology in the region.
