Emma Lord, MSc

PhD Student in Materials Science & Engineering at UofT

[Emma Lord, MSc @EmmaMaeLord]

Earlier this month, I had the honour of advancing to the Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) finals for the University of Toronto. In this competition, students have 3 minutes and one static slide to present their thesis to a non-expert audience.

I’m excited to share the video recording my talk, where I describe my project on developing next-generation zinc batteries: https://t.co/TAu2sPhvUZ

Thank you to the judges and coordinating team at UofT that make this competition possible!

Excited to share I successfully defended my MSc thesis yesterday! Thank you to the examiners who evaluated my work and to my supervisor, @Ding_Lab, for his guidance. Thank you to my many mentors and friends for their support throughout my time at Western.

I am grateful to announce I will be pursuing my PhD this fall at the University of Toronto in the department of @ChemEng_UofT under the supervision of @yuweilai93.

Final conference of my MSc complete! I had a great time presenting one of my MSc projects and networking with other chemists at #CSC2025 last week in Ottawa.

Thank you to the symposium organizers, Dr. Brosseau and Dr. Ogata, and to the CSC team who made this event possible.
