Grant: Canada Research Chairs
University of Alberta
$200,000.00
Thermodynamics
FY 2023-24
Summary
The Chair¿s research has two thrusts:
1. Cryobiological Thermodynamics & Transport, and Cryopreservation:
Cryobiology is the study of the effect of low temperatures on life, with the
main application of cryopreserving cells and tissues for future use. The
Chair will lead an interdisciplinary, collaborative program on fundamental
cryobiology and development of cryopreservation protocols.
2. Surface, Interface, Colloid and Nanoscale Thermodynamics & Transport:
Colloids are materials with phase dimensions between 1 nanometer and
10 micrometers. The Chair will solve important, challenging problems to
provide equations for prediction, design and control of surfaces, interfaces
and colloids prominent in nature, industry and science.
