Abstract Microfluidics exploits fluids and their physical and chemical properties at the microscale, enabling miniaturized platforms that offer lower cost, faster pace, higher performance, and increased portability than their macroscale counterparts. This talk will briefly discuss three research themes including droplet microfluidics, microwave sensing and soft robotic wearable systems. Two-phase droplet microfluidics employs monodispersed water-oil […]

Professor Yuehwern Yih Purdue University  Human, Technologies, and Innovations in Health and Humanitarian Relief Abstract Technologies and innovations are advancing rapidly to meet human needs. However, in complex environments, such as health care and humanitarian relief, the interplay between human, technologies, and innovations could present unintended consequences that lead to suboptimal outcomes. In this seminar, Dr. […]

Abstract Biomanufacturing is a diverse industry, encompassing several well known processes such as antibiotics and fine chemicals. Canada has a long history of biomanufacturing which started in the 1920’s with the discovery of insulin for treatment of diabetes, launching what was the Connaught Lab which then went on to become part of Sanofi. Connaught Lab […]

We spend approximately 90% of our lives indoors, making the quality of our indoor air crucial to our well-being. The indoor microbiome—comprising bacteria, fungi and viruses—plays a significant role in our health. Changing climate patterns, such as wet weather and flooding, along with materials like carpet and drywall, are creating mold growth and air quality challenges. These issues are […]

Abstract Formal methods - mathematical techniques for describing systems, capturing requirements, and providing guarantees - have been used to synthesize robot control from high-level specification, and to verify robot behavior. Given the recent advances in robot learning and data-driven models, what role can, and should, formal methods play in advancing robotics? In this talk Kress-Gazit […]
