Reaching higher, thinking bigger
The Ring
Twenty years ago, the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) was created to provide funding for the tools--the labs, facilities and equipment--that Canadian researchers need to move ideas, discoveries and inventions forward for the benefit of society and the world around us.
Experts on Brexit and UK’s EU referendum
These University of Victoria experts are available to media for comment on the European Union referendum scheduled to be held on Thursday, June 23 in Britain.
Eugene Dowling
The Ring
The Faculty of Fine Arts mourns the passing of inspirational teacher and invaluable colleague, School of Music professor Eugene Dowling. Following a 2013 diagnosis of prostate cancer, Dowling passed away at his home on June 30 with his family and close friends at hand.
Listening to the “voice” of proteins
The Ring
When UVic engineering professor Dr. Reuven Gordon describes the biomedical engineering technique of listening to and recording the “voice” of proteins, it sounds a lot like a modern take on Horton Hears a Who, Dr. Seuss’s children’s story of an elephant who hears a voice calling from a microscopic dust speck. “Everything small has resonances. Everything has a voice,” Gordon says of the protein molecules measuring a single nanometer in size—the building blocks of life that are a million times smaller than an ant and emit sound at a frequency a million times higher than the human ear can hear.
Grad casts new light at a nanoscale
The Ring
Researchers all over the world dream of making new discoveries in well-established fields, but engineering grad Ana Zehtabi-Oskuie’s path has gone straight to the edge of an emerging field. While studying Electrical Engineering at the University of Tehran, Zehtabi-Oskuie became intrigued by optical trapping, a method pioneered in 2009 by electrical engineering professor Dr. Reuven Gordon, a team of UVic grad students and Dr. Romain Quidant at the Europe-based Institute of Photonic Sciences.
UVic particle physics research
The Ring
Try to imagine holding one trillion subatomic particles between two cupped hands. The elaborate choreography of subatomic particles would of course be invisible to the naked eye, but for years now, UVic experts have been tracking the complexities of this very elusive behavior using sophisticated equipment. In recent months, their research has brought us even closer to holding the answers to the beginnings of the universe and its building blocks.
Congratulations, Spring 2013 grads!
The Ring
Thousands of UVic students and their families and friends will gather on campus this month to celebrate the achievement of an academic milestone. During spring convocation, which stretches across nine ceremonies conducted from June 10–14, the University of Victoria will award 3,434 degrees, diplomas and certificates. The ceremonies will also be webcast live (uvic.ca/convocation). Congratulations and best wishes to all convocating students. As Friday's ceremony be Dr. David Turpin’s final convocation as President of UVic, it will include a special tribute in recognition of his years of leadership at the university.
