Growing a crystal is no simple task. But one high school team from Leamington grew a crystal so fine it won the Best Quality award at Canada’s 2022 National Crystal Growing Competition.
Students from Windsor and Essex County high schools worked with chemistry professor Nick Vukotic and Faculty of Science experiential learning specialist Michelle Bondy in preparation for the national competition.
Funding for an industry-academia collaboration will drive innovation in electric vehicle technology.
Nicholas Vukotic is UWindsor’s new Industrial Research Chair in X-ray Diffraction and Crystalline Materials.
Soon after taking up graduate study, Nick Vukotic was drawn into sessions brainstorming a problem that had eluded his advisor Stephen Loeb—and others around the world—for years. Dr. Vukotic’s design solution led to a cover article in Nature Chemistry that is now ranked as the most-accessed article of May 2012 in any chemistry journal.
A post-doctoral fellow is splitting his time between a campus research group and a company that provides X-ray diffraction analysis systems.
