2021 Group lunch
|
With the kayaking plan foiled by poor weather, the group decided to gather outside for a short lunch and cake together. This is the first time we have been together since Christmas 2019. Could you tell that Nathaniel missed us?
|
Today a pit, tomorrow a catastrophe
|
|
Sarah, Emmanual and Yuan are teaching the world about micro-electrochemical methods. Specifically, the Mauzeroll lab's corrosion team is showing what we do and how we do it. It's not everyday we give away our lab's secret sauce!
Watch and learn from their new video made in collaboration with the ECS Montréal Student Chapter. |
D. W. Ambridge Prize

ECS Montréal Student Chapter - Chapter of Excellence Award
|
Congratulations to our very own ECS Montréal Student Chapter who were recently awarded the "Chapter of Excellence" award from the ECS. Out of 87 student chapters, only 2 are given this prize every year.
The ECS Montréal Student Chapter was founded by members of the Schougaard group in 2010 and has since expanded considerably. The chapter committee is now composed of 9 members from 5 different research groups and 3 different universities in Montréal. The annual symposiums hosted regularly attract over 130 participants from across Canada and the United-States. During this years first ever virtual symposium, Prof. Clare Grey from the University of Cambridge gave a talk about her research on Li-ion batteries. We additionally had a presentation from 4 students who were all awarded a 50$ Amazon gift card for their participation. At its zenith, over 100 participants were present. |
Congrats Dr. Gateman!
|
Congratulations to Dr. Samantha Gateman for her successful Ph.D defense. The virtual thesis defense was a first in the Mauzeroll group. We couldn't create the traditional blackboard art which is customary when a student graduates, but this will have to do. We wish you the best in your continuation!

Life after graduation for an electrochemist
|
The Mauzeroll group participated in the mini-symposium hosted by the ECS Montréal Student Chapter detailing the options that electrochemists have after graduation. After seeing 3 short talks from electrochemists who are now in industry/academia, a Q&A session was held with electrochemists in academic, industrial and government positions to get their opinions on anything and everything.
|
Lisa Stephens, Ph.D
Farewell to our modeling champion (also a model student), Dr. Lisa Stephens, Devil's advocate. We ran a quick simulation and determined that there is a 100% chance you will have a sucessful career, wherever you end up. May your future endeavours be blessed with fine meshes and finer colleagues. May your points be spread far and wide.
