From new ideas to real-world solutions, our students added undergraduate researcher to their resume this summer.

The experience culminated in our annual poster showcase last week, where students shared more about their findings and experiences with attendees. And in an impressive showing, six students took home first place!

More on the showcase and research experience our students had at the link in bio.

For 35 years, Venture has brought together curious minds, creative problem-solvers and future STEM leaders. But the impact of Venture doesn’t end when camp does. From lifelong friendships and unexpected lessons to careers shaped by STEM outreach, the experiences made at Venture have continued to influence the people who helped bring the program to life.

Swipe through to learn more about this week’s past leader features, Elysia, Amanda, Owen and Jack, as they reflect on the moments that made venture special and the lessons they still carry today.

What happens inside the materials that power our world?

Postdoc fellow Mehdi Mosayebi is uncovering the hidden structures inside materials at the nanoscale, helping researchers understand why materials fail and how they can be improved.

His research on steel used in hydroelectric turbines recently earned him the 2026 Acta Student Award from Acta Materialia, one of the most influential journals in materials science.

“I see this award as recognition of a collective effort as much as a personal achievement.”

Wastewater pollution could soon become part of the solution.

Postdoc fellow Navid Noor is a postdoctoral fellow in Drew Higgins’ lab at McMaster, and he’s found a way to take nitrates from agricultural wastewater and convert them into ammonia, one of the world’s most important chemicals, using clean electricity and an iron-based catalyst. No extreme heat, no fossil fuels, no crushing pressures.

Using an iron-based catalyst and clean electricity, Navid’s electrochemical process offers a greener alternative to traditional ammonia production, reducing reliance on energy-intensive methods that contribute to global emissions.

“Instead of destroying a pollutant, we recycle it into fertilizer or fuel.”
