Advanced Materials Joining and Processing

这个椅子项目将开发广泛的新技术，用于连接和加工先进材料。这些技术将使用于水处理的3D打印纳米设备的组装和制造、轻质但坚固的汽车车身结构、无缺陷的航空发动机部件、高度可靠的植入式起搏器和更快的纳米电子存储芯片成为可能。该项目将培养未来几代的工程师和科学家，以加强加拿大的制造业竞争力，并通过其在纳米连接和微连接方面的独特活动，以及与加拿大和国际公司和大学的合作，巩固滑铁卢大学在焊接和连接研究方面的世界领先地位。

This Chair program will develop a wide range of novel technologies for joining and processing advanced materials. These technologies will enable the assembly and manufacturing of 3D printed nanomaterial devices for water treatment, light-weight but strong automobile body structures, defect-free aerospace engine parts, highly reliable implantable pacemakers, and faster nanoelectronic memory chips. This program will train future generations of engineers and scientists to strengthen Canadas manufacturing competitiveness, and reinforce University of Waterloos position as a world leader in welding and joining research through its unique activities in nanojoining and microjoining, and through collaborations with Canadian and international companies and universities.
