Hong Kong: Rotman/Engineering Chapter Fireside Chat on Sustainable Finance + Reception

The Canada Room, Consulate General of Canada to Hong Kong and Macao, 8 Connaught Place, Three Exchange Square, Central Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Rotman and U of T Engineering are thrilled to return to Hong Kong this March for a Fireside Chat on sustainable finance. How do we achieve long-term prosperity while integrating environmental and social sustainability into financial activities and business planning? One of the most pressing issues of our time, speakers will discuss the role management […]

LLE: Predicting Indoor Air Quality on a University Campus Using a Low-Cost Sensor Network and Machine Learning Models (Nga Lee (Sally) Ng, Georgia Tech)

WB116 @ 200 College St.

Abstract As people spend most of our time indoors, exposure to indoor pollutants can have major health impacts. Indoor air quality (IAQ) also plays a significant role in cognitive performance and learning, making it particularly important in classroom environments. The rise in availability of low-cost air pollutant sensors provides a growing opportunity to leverage low-cost […]

CRAFT Distinguished Seminar: Biohybrid Robotics

Red Room, Terrence Donnelly Centre for Cellular & Biomolecular Research, 160 College Street, University of Toronto

Abstract: Humanity has developed various technologies to meet societal needs, from humanoid robots and smartphones to self-driving cars. However, despite these advances in engineering and robotics, we have not yet fully harnessed the unique functionalities found in nature, such as molecular recognition, material production, and self-organization, for robotic applications. Replicating these exceptional natural capabilities in robotic […]

Robotics Institute Seminar Series: Robotics Foundation Models (Sergey Levine, UC Berkeley)

Zoom

Abstract General-purpose pretrained models have transformed natural language processing, computer vision, and other fields. In principle, such approaches should be ideal in robotics: since gathering large amounts of data for any given robotic platform and application is likely to be difficult, general pretrained models that provide broad capabilities present an ideal recipe to enable robotic […]

LLE: Electrocatalysis for Sustainable Chemical Manufacturing and Pollution Remediation (Astrid Müller, University of Rochester)

WB116 @ 200 College St.

Abstract Electrocatalysis has the potential to revolutionize the production of chemicals and consumer goods in an environmentally sustainable manner, by replacing traditional fossil fuel based processes with energy-efficient technologies powered by renewable electricity. This approach also holds great promise in addressing global challenges related to the remediation of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) water pollutants. […]

Disruptors & Dilemmas presents: Building up: Infrastructure for good

Online

As cities grow at an unprecedented pace, the need for smart, sustainable infrastructure has never been greater. But true sustainability isn’t just about better materials or more efficient design—it’s about people. Infrastructure has the power to enable choice, transform communities and shape lives.   What if we stopped building for people and started building with them? Imagine infrastructure […]

Open Conversation: Imagining the Future of EDIA Work at U of T Engineering

Engineering Council Room, Galbraith Building, Room 202 35 St. George Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Lunch provided for those who register by Wednesday, March 26. Join for all or part of the event. One of the key elements of good engineering is having multiple perspectives and voices involved in the design process.  Equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility (EDIA) continue to be critical aspects of our work to create learning and […]

Join this workshop with your Learning Strategist, where you’ll learn how to prioritize course content, manage your time effectively, and take care of yourself along the way! Choose one of our two interactive sessions to attend: […]

LLE: To Sustainability and Beyond! A Computer-aided Story on a Circular Carbon Economy (André Bardow, ETH Zurich)

WB116 @ 200 College St.

Abstract Our current linear way of producing chemicals and fuels is unsustainable. The petrochemical industry needs to transform from its current fossil basis to renewable resources for its energy and raw materials. Since chemicals and most fuels cannot be decarbonized in the literal sense, renewable carbon sources are needed to close the carbon cycle. In […]

MIE Distinguished Seminar Series with Professor Wendy Rogers: “Living in Interactive Future Environments: Supporting Successful Aging through Technology”

Mechanical Engineering Building, MC102, 5 King's College Road, Toronto, Canada

Interested members of the U of T community who would like to attend the seminars can email Kendra Hunter at hunter@mie.utoronto.ca Professor Wendy Rogers University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Living in Interactive Future Environments: Supporting Successful Aging through Technology Abstract Technology advances have the potential to support successful aging but are often not designed with consideration for […]

Research Round: Exploring the Dynamics of Visual Working Memory (Virtual Event)

Online via Zoom

Visual working memory (VWM) is a temporary storage system that actively maintains and manipulates visual information. However, its active nature makes it susceptible to distortions, especially when novel perceptual inputs are introduced during maintenance. One such distortion is similarity-induced memory bias (SIMB), where memory reports are systematically biased toward novel visual inputs when individuals perceive […]

41st Student Research Conference

Toronto Biomedical Engineering Conference (ToBE) May 9, 2025 The Toronto Biomedical Engineering Conference (ToBE) is a student-organized event aimed at bringing together the biomedical engineering community at the University of Toronto. Since 1985, the name of the conferences has evolved from IBBME Scientific Day to iARC (Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering Annual Research Conference) and […]
