On May 10, 2025, the ORF CEC-REN participated in Kingston’s annual Science Rendezvous event, engaging with local residents through a series of  interactive and educational activities for families. This outreach initiative aimed to spark public interest in emerging environmental contaminants in water and promote public awareness of both advancements and limitations of current waste disposal methods, and methods of contaminant detection and treatment.  

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Sarah Jane Payne (Civil Engineering, ����ֱ��) and Dr. Zhe She (Chemistry, ����ֱ��) are co-organizing a session on “Developing New Clean Water Technology for Contaminants of Emerging Concerns (AN/EN)”, and Dr.

Congratulations to Victoria Rilstone on starting her new journey as an Environmental Protection Officer with the BC Public Service in Victoria, British Columbia.

Victoria is one of our student, co-supervised by Dr. Pascale Champagne and Dr. Yves Filion.

Students from the Contaminants of Emerging Concern - Research Excellence Network (CEC-REN), along with members of the Beaty Water Research Centre (BWRC) at Queen’s University, visited the Kingston Ravensview Wastewater Treatment Facility today. Students were amazed at how the facility turns waste into safe water, gaining valuable insights and a deeper appreciation for environmental sustainability.

PhD student Jose Giovanni Leite de Brito was awarded 1 of 3 prizes at the ACS GC&E meeting on June 5th! The Student Poster Competition took place June 4th during the 28th Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference, June 2-5, 2024, in Atlanta-US.

Giovanni is one of our students, supervised by Dr. Philip Jessop.
