Join us on Friday, June 25th 3:00-6:00 pm EDT, as we celebrate 125 years (+1) of the Department of Physics at the University of Guelph.  Our event will feature invited speakers, showcase our history, recognize some of our incredible achievements and be an opportunity to socialize with alumni, students, staff and faculty.  

Nanoscience research explores physical processes on the nanometer scale. At the University of Guelph, nanoscientists in the Department of Physics probe polymeric materials, biomaterials, and graphene on these incredibly small scales, providing unique training opportunities through cutting-edge work led by faculty members such as Dr. John Dutcher.

Congratulations to Hurmiz Shamana on being awarded the F.R. Hallett Memorial Scholarship in Biophysics for 2021.  Hurmiz was selected based on his academic achievements and ability in biophysics research as demonstrated through publications, presentations, and the mastery of his research area.  This graduate scholarship was established in memory of Professor Ross Hallett to honour his contributions to research in biophysics, as well as his academic life in the Department of Physics, the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, and the University of Guelph.  

Congratulations to Devin Hymers on the awarding of NSERC Postgraduate Scholarships – the  Alexander Graham Bell Canada Graduate Scholarships-Doctoral (CGS D).  This scholarship provides financial support to high calibre scholars who are engaged in a doctoral program in the natural sciences or engineering.
