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 Jonathan Caulkins Carnegie Mellon University Systems Modeling to Inform Policy Toward Illegal Drugs, the Opioid Epidemic, and Prescribed Safer Supply Abstract This talk will illustrate what happens when formal training in operational analysis meets […]
Abstract The concept of oxy-fuel combustion involves using O2 separated from air to burn a fuel to generate a CO2 rich stream that can then be sequestered. However, if only O2 is fed into the boiler, the combustion temperature will be too high. In practice, flue gas would need to be cooled to condense out […]
The 3rd annual CRANIA Conference will be held at the BMO Conference Centre at the Toronto Western Hospital located in downtown Toronto on October 24 and 25, 2024. The conference features keynotes, workshops, and panel discussions on comprehensive topics pertaining to the emerging field of neuromodulation. Our goal is to provide a highly-interactive environment which will foster […]
Photo credit: Leise Jones Established in 2018, the Fred Kan Distinguished Lecture Series in Engineering Ethics invites thought leaders to share research and insights that challenge us to think differently about ethical issues in engineering. Thanks to a generous donation from alumnus, Mr. Fred Kan, the lecture brings together undergraduate and graduate students, alumni, faculty, staff, and […]
As the global population ages, more of us are facing decisions about how and where to spend our later years or how to best care for our aging family. With workforce shortages, rising healthcare costs and a desire for independence, aging in place is becoming a preferred option. Aging in place allows people to […]
Abstract In 2024, embodied and situated AI resurfaced as a major focus in popular science, drawing attention in the news, startup funding, and public discourse. Roboticists have long pursued this goal and know how challenging embodiment is. Meanwhile, experts argue that intelligence stems from the ability to perceive and act on the world. In this […]
Abstract Viruses are the most abundant microbial entity on the planet, impacting microbial community structure and ecosystem services. Viruses infecting bacteria and archaea have been specifically understudied in engineered environments. Using metagenomic and computational biology methods, we examined the diversity, host-interactions, and genetic systems of viruses across three North American landfills. From giant viral genomes […]
Speaker Geoffrey Wright Professor College of Public Health Temple University Abstract This novel application of virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD) technology has been designed as a balance assessment device that establishes a method of assessing fall-risk by using a series of automated postural tests with different levels of somatosensory, visual, and visual-vestibular reliability. Our other […]
Abstract I was trained as a technically-focused electrical engineer working on control of wind energy systems. Although I enjoyed that work (and still practice in that area), I began to realize that the world’s wicked problems, including climate change – a bit motivator for me – require us to step back and think of large […]
Are you interested in research? Attend an upcoming workshop as part of the Research Opportunities Workshop Series. Starting November 13, learn more about whether research is right for you, how to navigate the opportunities available, and how to prepare your application for research opportunities and awards. Refreshments will be provided! By participating in this […]
Metal additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is revolutionizing industries by enabling the precise creation of complex parts with unprecedented flexibility. This technology reduces waste, accelerates production and allows for customized designs, making everyday products—such as medical devices and transportation components—more accessible and affordable. As AM continues to evolve, it holds the potential to transform key […]
