Meet Ethan, a third-year Chemical Engineering student at the University of Waterloo with a keen interest in both nanotechnology and sustainable energy solutions. Growing up in a small town where his parents ran a local tech shop, he developed a fascination for how tiny materials can lead to big innovations. With a passion for cooperative education, he has already completed two co-op terms in the chemical industry, where he gained insights that make him question the viability of certain fields. Ethan values practicality and is eager to engage in discussions about the real-world implications of different engineering disciplines.
