  • Simon Fraser University Exchange / Study Abroad Fact Sheet: 2017/18
    Simon Fraser University Exchange / Study Abroad Fact Sheet: 2017/18 GENERAL INFORMATION _________________________________________________ About SFU Simon Fraser University was founded 50 years ago with a mission to be a different kind of university – to bring an interdisciplinary rigour to learning, to embrace bold initiatives, and to engage deeply with communities near and far. Our vision is to be Canada’s most community-engaged research university. Today, SFU is Canada’s leading comprehensive research university and is ranked one of the top universities in the world. With campuses in British Columbia’s three largest cities – Vancouver, Burnaby and Surrey – SFU has eight faculties, delivers almost 150 programs to over 35,000 students, and boasts more than 130,000 alumni in 130 countries around the world. SFU is currently ranked as Canada’s top comprehensive university (Macleans 2017 University Rankings). The QS 2015 rankings placed SFU second in Canada for the international diversity of its students and for research citations per faculty member. For more, see: <www.sfu.ca/sfu-fastfacts> Campus Locations Simon Fraser University’s three unique campuses, spread throughout Metropolitan Vancouver, are all within an hour of one another by public transit. Burnaby (main campus): Perched atop Burnaby Mountain, Simon Fraser University’s original Arthur Erickson-designed campus now includes more than three dozen academic buildings and is flanked by UniverCity, a flourishing sustainable residential community. Surrey: A vibrant community hub located in the heart of one of Canada’s fastest-growing cities. Vancouver: Described by local media as the “intellectual heart of the city”, SFU’s Vancouver Campus transformed the landscape of urban education in downtown Vancouver.

  • Simon Fraser University
    Simon Fraser University BC Leadership Chair in Neuroscience and Technology Translation Across the Lifespan Simon Fraser University (SFU) acknowledges the Squamish, Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh, Katzie and Kwikwetlem peoples on whose traditional territories our three campuses stand. For the sixth consecutive year, SFU has been ranked by the Maclean’s University Ranking Guide as Canada's leading comprehensive university and it has held first or second place for nearly a decade. SFU is also ranked 13th in Canada by the QS World University Ranking. With unique campuses in Vancouver, Burnaby and Surrey, SFU has deep roots in partner communities throughout the Province of British Columbia and around the world. SFU aims to become Canada’s leading engaged university through innovative education, cutting-edge research and community outreach. Answers to critical questions in neuroscience lie at a pivotal intersection between biology, psychology, computer science, philosophy, statistics and engineering. These solutions also require the engagement of end users and stakeholders in all stages of research. In order to tackle these challenges, SFU now seeks to appoint the BC Leadership Chair in Neuroscience and Technology Translation Across the Lifespan. This Chair is supported by the Leading Edge Endowment Fund (LEEF) program, a multi-million endowment established by the Government of British Columbia (BC) to assist a total of 20 permanent BC Leadership Chairs at Research Universities in the province. The Chairs are designed to attract world-class faculty, strengthen the province’s capacity for innovative research, promote British Columbia as a centre for cutting-edge research, enhance economic development and position the province as a leader in the knowledge-based economy.

  • Battery Safety Science Symposium August 11, 2021
    Battery Safety Science Symposium August 11, 2021 Session III Empirical and Modeling Studies: New Insights Dr. Jeff Dahn Professor of Physics and Professor of Chemistry Dalhousie University NSERC/Tesla Canada Inc. Industrial Research Chair Accelerating Rate Calorimetry Studies of the reactivity of Ni-rich positive electrode materials with electrolyte at elevated temperature Nickel-rich positive electrode materials present challenges for the safety of Li-ion batteries. Not only do they lead to cells with higher stored energy in the first place, they are more reactive with electrolytes at elevated temperatures than materials with lower Ni content. In this presentation, we will describe how accelerating rate calorimetry can be used to rank the relative reactivity of positive electrode materials with electrolyte. We will then discuss the factors that lead to the high reactivity of Ni-rich materials and give a few strategies for reducing this reactivity. About the speaker Jeff Dahn was born in Bridgeport, Conn. in 1957 and emigrated with his family to Nova Scotia, Canada in 1970. He obtained his B.Sc. in Physics from Dalhousie University (1978) and his Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia in 1982. Dahn then worked at the National Research Council of Canada (‘82-‘85) and at Moli Energy Limited (‘85-‘90) before taking up a faculty position in the Physics Department at Simon Fraser University in 1990. He returned to Dalhousie University in 1996. He has worked on lithium and lithium-ion batteries for 43 years. During his years at Simon Fraser University (‘90-‘96) he collaborated strongly with the R+D team at NEC/Moli Energy Canada (Now E-One/Moli Energy Canada).

  • Forging an Outward-Looking New Left at Simon Fraser University
    Coming off the Mountain: Forging an Outward-Looking New Left at Simon Fraser University Ian Milligan* he strike of Simon Fraser University’s (sfu’s) Department of Political Science, Sociology, and Anthropology (psa) began in September 1969. Precipitated by concern about departmental Tautonomy in personnel decisions, the strike action owed at least as much to the unorthodox conception of the university’s role in society held by many psa faculty and students. They declared that the psa department was “grounded on the philosophy of participation and control from below and designed to serve the needs of the PEOPLE OF BRITISH 1 COLUMBIA.” As Mordecai Briemberg, the department chair, recalls: “It was dangerous, the outward form of it. That somehow the university comes off the mountain, and actually goes to see what it can do in re- 2 lation to ordinary people’s working lives and their needs.” When eight striking professors were dismissed and an injunction ended the strike, New Leftists moved off campus. This move into the community was a natural progression from on- campus activities over the preceding two years. Indeed, in this article I argue that we can see a significant current of off-campus engagement throughout sfu’s radical history. Every major on-campus conflagration, from the 1967 dismissal of five teaching assistants (TAs) that nearly set off a student strike, to the arrest of 114 students in the wake of the November 1968 occupation of the Administration Building, to the psa strike, revolved around one central issue: the responsibility of the New Leftist student to the broader world.
