Microwaves: Sound Science Tools for New Economic Opportunities

Thursday, October 12, 2017 10:00to11:30
Raymond Building R4-045, 21111 Lakeshore Road, St Anne de Bellevue, QC, H9X 3V9, CA

You are invited to attend a Special Seminar by Prof. Dr. J. R. J Paré, MSM, New Bunswick Innovation Research Chair in Medical Technologies – Atlantic Cancer Research Institute

Microwaves are gaining wider use in a variety of scientific applications. Currently-used examples will be reviewed including liquid-phase extraction, gas-phase extraction, chemical synthesis, and separation processes.  This presentation will attempt to demystify the question as to whether there is such a thing as a specific “microwave effect”. Recent efforts and directions in using microwaves as energy-efficient tools will also be presented. Emphasis will be on non-conventional non-equilibrium conditions. Finally, a brief overview of our own program on microwave ablation of tumours will be presented. The purpose of this seminar is to raise questions, several of which may (will!!!) remain unanswered, thus pointing out at R&D opportunities in that area.
