About the ECS Calgary Student Chapter

The ECS Calgary Student Chapter was established in 2011 at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada. It was the second ECS Student Chapter formed in Canada. Currently, the Chapter includes over 20 members.

The Chapter aims to create opportunities for interaction with researchers and scientists from both academia and industry. Additionally, the Chapter actively promotes electrochemistry and its applications to the broader community at various science outreach events.

For 2024-2025, Prof. Viola Birss serves as the faculty advisor, and graduate students Adam Bass, Hisham Elaqapa, Sydnee Dronsfield, and Hannah Cameron currently serve as President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer, respectively.

The ECS Calgary Student Chapter was the recipient of the Electrochemical Society Outstanding Student Chapter Award in June 2019 and became the first Canadian chapter to earn this recognition.
