On August 7, 2026, the University of Guelph hosted the 4th Annual ECS Guelph Young Researcher Symposium.

Held to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Electrochemical Technology Centre (ETC), the symposium brings together graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty to share cutting-edge research and recognize excellence among the next generation of electrochemical scientists, and includes prestigious awards for top scholars.

Congratulations to the recipients of the Jacek Lipkowski Award:

The University of Guelph and Xanadu, a Canadian leader in quantum computing, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate on advancing quantum computing education and preparing students for emerging careers in the rapidly growing quantum sector. 

U of G-developed machine learning models distinguished properties of soft materials from atomic force microscopy (AFM) force spectroscopy data.

PhD candidate Megan Black and Dr. Rui Huang in the Department of Chemistry, along with collaborators in Chemistry and the Department of Cellular and Molecular Biology, are studying how cells prevent mitochondrial damage from escalating into serious dysfunction.

Victoria Flood’s path through physics has been shaped by curiosity, persistence and a desire to find answers. Now a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto after being a two-time Guelph grad, she is contributing to atmospheric research that connects local measurements with large-scale models of Earth’s climate system.

The University of Guelph’s College of Computational, Mathematical, and Physical Sciences (CCMPS) has recognized outstanding faculty and staff with its 2026 Faculty and Staff Awards.

M.Sc. Computer Science student Bamikole Adewale has received the Best Poster Award (Graphics) at the 2026 Graphics Interface Conference, held this year in Waterloo from June 9-12.

Adewale, first author on the project, worked in collaboration with advisors Dr. Yan Yan, School of Computer Science, and Dr. Randy Lin, Algoma University. The award recognizes excellence in both research and visual communication.

U of G researchers created a novel tool that shows what parts of an image influence AI decisions. 

The University of Guelph has awarded the Medal of Merit to Associate Professor Emerita Lori Jones in recognition of her outstanding and enduring contributions to teaching, academic leadership, and service.

University of Guelph graduate students in mathematics and statistics earned multiple top honours with strong representation at the 2026 Canadian Statistics Student Conference (CSSC) on May 30, reflecting a strong and competitive showing among peers from across the country.
