Contributions in a context of record federal funding

While UQAM has received more than $8 million in federal grants through 98 projects funded by SSHRC and NSERC, three members of NanoQAM stand out for their innovative expertise in the field of nanoscience:

• Prof. Steen Schougaard (Department of Chemistry), whose work on electrochemically active materials for energy storage, particularly fast-charging batteries, is advancing cutting-edge energy research. Project: New multiscale methods for visualizing battery performance.
• Prof. Ali Nazemi (Department of Chemistry), who specializes in the design of polymeric and dendritic nanomaterials for applications in nanomedicine and catalysis. Project: Macromolecular chemistry in the engineering of nanomaterials for nanomedicine and catalysis.
• Prof. Steve Bourgault (Department of Chemistry), holder of a Canada Research Chair in Chemistry of Biological Nanoassemblies, explores the self-assembly mechanisms of amyloid proteins for innovative biomedical applications. Project: Modulation of polypeptide self-assembly to design protein nanostructures and functional biomaterials.

These contributions are part of a broader effort to strengthen infrastructure and scientific support for the advancement of nanoscience at UQAM.
