SUMMARY:MSE Graduate Seminar: Structure\, order\, and extracopularity
DESCRIPTION:Title: Structure\, order\, and extracopularity\n\n\n\nPresenter: John Camkiran\, (PhD candidate\, 2nd seminar)\nSupervisor: Prof. G. Hibbard\n \nAbstract: \n\n\nOrder is an aspect of a system’s structure that holds much insight. Despite the fact that many physical systems are well modeled as collections of interacting particles\, a general approach to quantifying the absolute degree of order immediately surrounding a particle has yet to be described. Thus motivated\, this seminar presents a quantity E that captures the amount of pairwise informational redundancy among the bonds formed by a particle. Particles with larger E have less diversity in bond angles and thus simpler neighborhoods. We demonstrate that E is\, in principle\, able to distinguish a wide range of structures and conjecture that it is maximized by the icosahedral geometry under the constraint of equal sphere packing. An algorithm for computing E is described and results from its application to the structural characterization of crystals and glasses are discussed. These findings are generally consistent with existing knowledge on the structure of such systems. We compare E to the Steinhardt order parameter Q6 and polyhedral template matching (PTM). We observe that E has resolution comparable to Q6 and robustness similar to PTM\, despite being much simpler than the former and far more informative than the latter.

SUMMARY:MSE Graduate Seminar: Toward Printed Electrolyte-Gated Transistors for Flexible Electronics
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Guan Ying (Jane) Wang\, MASc. Candidate\nSupervisor: Prof. Keryn Lian\, Dr. Ta-Ya Chu (NRC)\n \nAbstract: \n\n\nElectrolyte-gated field effect transistors (EGFETs) have gathered much attention in the last few decades due to their key role in enabling potential printed\, low-cost\, low-power\, portable\, and flexible electronics in applications such as wearable sensors\, flexible solar cells\, and e-textiles. To further the portability and commercial viability of EGFET-based printed electronics\, this study explores the applications of polymer electrolytes in EGFET and their compatibility with inexpensive silver electrodes to replace expensive and process-intensive gold electrode contacts. Several additive manufacturing techniques such as inkjet and screen printing were used to fabricate electrodes in silver and gold for proof-of-concept testing. The electrochemical stability and capacitance characteristics were evaluated for a series of proton and neutral pH ion-conducting electrolytes. Among these aqueous based polymer electrolytes is lithium nitrate (LiNO3) salt in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix. LiNO3/PVA is promising due to its wider electrochemical window on account of being a neutral pH ion-conducting electrolyte\, as well as its high ionic conductivity and specific capacitance which are necessary for efficient electric double layer gating in sub-1V EGFETs. Subsequently\, this study explores the transistor performance\, optimization\, and outlook of this electrolyte for silver electrode EGFETs.   \n\n

Weathering of a single microplastic particle can yield up to billions of nanoplastics and nanoplastic pollution is expected to be ubiquitous in the environment. Nanoplastics are potentially more hazardous than microplastics because they can cross biological membranes; yet\, there is little data on the occurrence\, fate and impacts of nanoplastics. A key challenge in understanding the environmental burden of nanoplastics is the detection of such small\, carbon-based particles in complex natural matrices such as soils. \nEnvironmental nanoplastics are often thought of as an extension of microplastics with a distinction based on an arbitrary size cut-off\, typically 100 nm or 1000 nm. In our view\, in terms of environmental implications and analytical challenges\, a size cut-off distinction provides little guidance. While a consensus on the precise definition of “nanoplastic” has yet to be reached\, we advocate for a characteristic-based distinction between nanoplastics and microplastics. Based on existing literature and analytical methods\, we present a set of characteristics\, distinct from microplastics and other contaminants\, that define environmental nanoplastics. \nThis lecture will present an overview of our work aimed at overcoming challenges to better understand the fate and impacts of nanoplastics in terrestrial and aquatic environments. I will discuss new approaches for detection of nanoplastics in complex matrices and recent advances in our understanding of the toxicity of nanoplastics.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBIO\nNathalie Tufenkji is a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at McGill University where she holds the Tier I Canada Research Chair in Biocolloids and Surfaces.

SUMMARY:MSE Graduate Seminar: Hybrid Models for Steelmaking and Casting Applications
DESCRIPTION:Title: Hybrid Models for Steelmaking and Casting Applications\n\n\n\n\nPresenter: Ruibin Wang  (PhD candidate\, 2nd seminar)\nSupervisor: Prof.  K. Chattopadhyay\n \nAbstract: \n\n\n\nSteel production involves a series of processes that convert iron and steel scrap into end products for industrial application. Over the past decade\, steelmaking industry has faced continuous economic and environmental challenges. As a result\, for fulfilling the steel product quality requirement and ensuring maximized process efficiency\, strict monitoring for the Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) and continuous casting processes is needed. \n\nExist control models for the BOF process are mostly developed based on thermodynamic principles or by deploying advanced sensors. In the present study\, a novel hybrid method for endpoint temperature\, carbon\, and phosphorus based on heat and mass balance coupled with data-driven technique is proposed. Three types of static models were established\, firstly\,  theoretical framework based on user specified inputs were formulated based on mass and energy balance; secondly\, artificial neural networks (ANN) were developed for end-points predictions; finally\, the proposed hybrid model was established based upon exchanging outputs among theoretical models and ANNs. The application of the hybrid model can successfully improve the prediction accuracy of theoretical framework and generalization of machine learning models.\n\nDuring the continuous casting process\, the clogging of submerged entry nozzle (SEN) is a critical issue that adversely affects final product quality and process productivity. In order to impose effective monitoring and control over the continuous casting process\, a quantitative index was formulated to quantify the magnitude of SEN clogging and erosion for ultra-low carbon\, low carbon\, medium carbon\, and calcium treated grades. Three critical index values are defined to represent the clogging event\, erosion event\, and critical casting condition. Long short-term memory network was established based on the quantitative index in the past four minutes to predict that in the future 48 seconds. The models can identify most of the critical casting conditions and erosion incidents for all steel grades. In the production setting\, operators can take corresponding actions when critical conditions are predicted in order to prevent the possible occurrence of clogging.

SUMMARY:MSE GRADUATE SEMINAR​​​​​​​:  Treatment of Ultramafic Nickel Tailings
DESCRIPTION: Ursula Franklin MSE GRADUATE SEMINAR ​​​​​​​\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n— Every week on Thu\, 12:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) —\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTitle: Treatment of Ultramafic Nickel Tailings\n\nPresenter: Zhirong Chen (MASc candidate)\nSupervisor: Prof.  E. Bobicki\n \nAbstract: \n\n\n\nLow-grade ultramafic nickel ores contain a high percentage of serpentine which\, while having deleterious effects on processing\, makes these ores a desirable feedstock for mineral carbonation. By conducting microwave pre-treatment\, serpentine is shown to be converted to olivine\, which increases the carbon uptake when compared to directly carbonating the untreated ultramafic nickel ore tailings. The effect of microwave pre-treatment and mineral carbonation of ultramafic nickel ore and the resultant impact on settling and filtration are explored. Results show by pre-treating the nickel ore for 15 min using microwave the settling and filtration rate of the ore slurry has been improved; also\, the turbidity of the filtrate and moisture content of the filter cake has decreased. However\, results also indicate that mineral carbonation hinders settling even though it improves the filtration rate.

SUMMARY:MSE Graduate Seminar: Electrical Transport in Mixed-dimensional Semiconductor van der Waals Heterostructures
DESCRIPTION: Ursula Franklin MSE GRADUATE SEMINAR ​​​​​​​\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n— Every week on Thu\, 12:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) —\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTitle: Electrical Transport in Mixed-dimensional Semiconductor van der Waals Heterostructures\n\nPresenter: Sarry Al-Turk (PhD candidate\, 2nd seminar)\nSupervisor: Prof.  H. Ruda\n \nAbstract: \n\n\n\nThe isolation of graphene in 2004 inspired efforts to identify and isolate other 2D materials. Over the past decade\, many of these materials have begun to see their integration into van de Waals (vdW) heterostructures\, as any passivated surface free of dangling bonds will interact with another through vdW forces. However\, since this isn’t limited to interplanar interactions\, mixed-dimensional vdW heterostructures have begun to emerge in which 2D monolayers are combined with 0D\, 1D and 3D structures. \n\n1D/2D heterostructures in which both materials are semiconductors are of particular interest due to constrained carrier transport and weak screening effect in nanowires as well as strong quantization in 2D materials. In this seminar\, results on such a 1D/2D vdW heterostructure are presented. Cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanowires were synthesized through vapour phase deposition\, after which molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) flakes were isolated through mechanical exfoliation. The electrical properties of both materials were investigated through the fabrication of field-effect transistors via lithographic techniques. Finally\, in addition to creating the CdSe/MoSe2 heterostructure\, a computational model was created to better understand the system.

SUMMARY:Ursula Franklin MSE GRADUATE SEMINAR ​​​​​​: Computational Design of New Materials for use in Solid State Batteries
DESCRIPTION:Title: Computational Design of New Materials for use in Solid State Batteries\n\nPresenter: Jacob Rempel (MASc candidate)\nSupervisor: Prof.  C. V. Singh\n \nAbstract:\nSolid state electrolyte batteries provide a noticeable advantage over conventional liquid batteries due to their improved safety. In particular\, lithium ion solid state batteries have shown exceptional strides in recent years as their cycling performance and electrical capacities have started to approach those of conventional counterparts. In the discovery of these new compounds\, Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Ab-Initio Molecular Dynamics (AIMD) are useful tools as they remove the need for a physical laboratory\, thus saving time and resources. In addition to this\, it has been shown recently that dopants can be used to increase the ionic conductivity of many compounds and this has opened a large field of potential study in doped solid-state electrolytes. \nThis study takes this computational approach to determine the electronic properties for a variety of compounds\, including the Li6PS5X argyrodite series and the Li3SBF4 anti-perovskite series using DFT and AIMD. These compounds have previously been shown to have exceptional long term cycling as well as high discharge capacities. Additionally\, they have been experimentally determined to have relatively high ionic conductivities\, in the range of mS/cm at room temperature\, which has been shown to be linked to improved battery performance. Following this\, this study explores the benefits of varying dopants in these compounds and the role they may play in increasing the ionic conductivity of these compounds. \n\n

SUMMARY:CARTE Industry Speaker Seminar Series: Oil and Water or Vinaigrette? The Forklift Industry and Data Science
DESCRIPTION:CARTE Industry Speaker Seminar Series: Oil and Water or Vinaigrette? The Forklift Industry and Data Science\nSpeaker:Jeff Schmidt\, Data Scientist – Advanced Research and Development Services@The Raymond CorporationModerator:Professor Ningyuan Chen\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Management\, University of Toronto Mississauga\, cross-appointed at the Rotman School of Management\, University of Toronto. \nDate: March 10\, 2022Time: 12:00 – 1:00 pmRegister through this link.Abstract: Social media and high tech companies have attracted the majority of the data science talent pushing innovation and research by leveraging their data rich environments. This has created some interesting challenges for other industries from securing talent to filling large knowledge gaps due to the speed of innovation. Through my experience at a forklift manufacturer I hope to provide a window into off-trend data science. Some of the topics of discussion are the challenges a data scientist will likely encounter in this and related industries and the skills that one will likely need to acquire to be successful\, a case study of a data driven lease prediction using XGBoost and forklift service data to more accurately capture ownership costs associated with Raymond forklifts\, and a discussion of opportunities in anomaly detection/performance monitoring using high resolution time-series data and component level failure prediction. The manufacturing industry is hungry for talented data scientists\, though the role is a bit different from its high-tech counterparts. Hopefully the talk will help prepare future data scientists and provide insight into research areas that could drive innovation in manufacturing and similar industries.Speaker Bio \n\nJeff Schmidt is a Data Scientist for the Advanced Research Department for The Raymond Corporation since 2015. Jeff received his BS in Computer Science in 2006\, his MS in Systems Science in 2012\, and is currently a PhD candidate in Systems Science all at Binghamton University. At Raymond Jeff has worked on real-time data pipelines\, productionized ML models\, cloud deployment architecture\, job-shop scheduling optimization\, and other research related projects. Research interests include biologically plausible neural networks\, sensory substitution\, and an unshakable interest in cryptocurrency.

SUMMARY:LLE: Nano-scale Characterizations of Ancient Mars Minerals and Earth Copper: Stories of Corrosion and Resilience (Desmond Moser\, Western)
DESCRIPTION:External members are required to register to receive the link and passcode. Registration closes at 9am on March 7: tinyurl.com/mar9LLE \nDesmond Moser\, Western\nHost: Prof. Jane Howe \nThe characterization of long-lived minerals\, including natural metal deposits of copper\, and their corrosion behaviours is an area of shared interest among geo- and materials scientists. This is particularly true in regard to transdisciplinary efforts to improve the design of multi-barrier Deep Geological Repositories for spent nuclear fuel. Examples of our application of micro- and nano-characterization techniques (e.g. EBSD\, SIMS\, Atom Probe Tomography) will be presented for a range of geomaterials including > 4 billion-year-old weakly-radioactive minerals in Martian meteorites and 1 billion-year-old copper from Earth. \n_____________________________________ \nProfessor Desmond Moser has spent most of his career unraveling the evolution of ancient planetary crusts using weakly radioactive and highly resilient microminerals. Increasingly his group is directing their expertise to help understand all aspects of the long-lived natural materials important to designing multi-barrier Deep Geological Repositories for spent nuclear fuel. \nProf. Moser conducts solid Earth and planetary science research using Western’s nationally unique Zircon and Accessory Phase Laboratory (ZAPLab). Micromineral crystal growth and deformation analysis (e.g. CL\, EBSD) is integrated with field mapping\, microchemical (EDS\, WDS)\, petrologic and mass spectrometry measurements (radiogenic and stable isotopes) at Western and partner institutes. His active projects investigate meteorites\, crustal cross-sections\, kimberlite xenoliths\, sedimentary basins and impact structures in the Americas\, Africa and Europe. His ZAPLab team is advancing our knowledge of the timing and nature of processes that form and modify planetary crusts and ore deposits while advancing the growing sub-discipline of accessory mineral science. \nView the complete 2021-22 LLE schedule

SUMMARY:MSE Graduate Seminar: Atomic Structure of Thin films in the Cesium-Lead-Bromine System
DESCRIPTION:Title: Atomic Structure of Thin films in the Cesium-Lead-Bromine System\n\nPresenter: Shivani Varshney (PhD candidate\, 2nd seminar)\nSupervisor: Prof.  J. Nogami\n \n\nAbstract: \n\n\nCesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) perovskite nanocrystals have a promising future in the field of optoelectronics. Their potential applications are primarily in improving the efficiency of solar cells and light emitting diodes (LEDs). The growing interest in perovskites motivated us to study the growth of the two binary constituents\, Cesium bromide (CsBr) and Lead bromide (PbBr2) on a metallic substrate\, as well as the results of co-deposition to produce the perovskite. In this study\, ultra-thin films have been grown using thermal evaporation\, studied using low energy electron diffraction (LEED)\, scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT). The observation of many different phases shows the challenge in producing high quality films in this system. \n\n

SUMMARY:Application of Optimization and Simulation Techniques in Resource Allocation and Dispatch Decisions at Ornge
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Analytics and Artificial Intelligence Engineering (CARTE) Industry Speakers Series in collaboration with the Centre for Healthcare Engineering (CHE) welcomes Mahvareh Ahghari\, Research Coordinator & Quality Analyst at Ornge\, formerly Ontario Air Ambulance Corporation. \nThe seminar is moderated by Dionne Aleman\, Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering and Director of morLab at UofT. \nAbstract: As the largest transport medicine organization in Canada\, Ornge provides patient care and transportation services across Ontario\, covering a vast area of one million square kilometers. Ornge carries out approximately 19\,000 patient transfers annually – with different priorities and required levels of care – using a fleet of land critical care transfer vehicles\, rotor-wing aircraft (helicopters)\, and fixed-wing aircraft (airplanes) located in different bases across the province. Efficient deployment of these resources can enhance access to critical care while potentially decreasing costs. \nIn this session\, I will discuss the development process of two decision support tools\, including (1) an optimization/simulation model to determine optimal base locations\, and examine the most efficient deployment procedures to improve the overall response time for emergent and urgent patient transports province-wide\, and (2) an optimization tool for long-term (next day) patient transfers to optimize the transportation costs of non-urgent patients on a daily basis. I will present how applying these tools helps Ornge make evidence-based vehicle allocations and dispatch decisions in order to improve patient care while augmenting operations efficiency in a fiscally responsible manner. \nThis is a long-lasting collaboration (from 2008 until now) with Dr. Russell MacDonald (Medical Director\, Ornge)\, Dr. Shane Henderson\, Dr. David Shmoys\, and a group of 30 graduate students from the Cornell Graduate School of Operations Research and Information Engineering (ORIE). \nSpeaker bio: Mahvareh Ahghari is a Research Coordinator & Quality Analyst at Ornge. She received her Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Toronto in 2006\, and joined Ornge in early 2007. Her research and professional activities are in the areas of resource allocation optimization\, discrete event simulation\, process improvement and performance analysis of emergency medical services\, call centers and production systems.

SUMMARY:CARTE Presents: Digital Health – AI for Telehealth and Radiologists’ AI assistance
DESCRIPTION:CARTE industry seminar series welcomes Mr. Steven Truong\, Founder and CEO of VinBrain\, a subsidiary of Vingroup which is the largest conglomerate in Vietnam. \nThe session is moderated by Farzad Khalvati\, Endowed Chair in Medical Imaging and Artificial Intelligence\, Associate Professor\, The Hospital for Sick Children\, University of Toronto. \nAbstract: In this talk\, I will share VinBrain’s cutting-edge works on Digital Health – AI for Telehealth and Radiologists’ AI assistance via our products of AI SmartCare & DrAid™.\nAmid the COVID-19 outbreak in Vietnam\, AI SmartCare became the country’s official digital health application for the treatment of COVID-19 patients at home. The application provided the patients with the fastest access to the doctors through video calls while automated triaging & prioritizing emergency cases based on Sp02 and respiratory rate to alert doctors for timely treatment.\nMeanwhile\, with 4.7B people in the world lacking access to the diagnostic imaging service (in Vietnam there are only three instead of eight radiologists per 100K population compared to the USA)\, we seek forward this opportunity to create DrAid\, an AI assistance for radiologists. At present\, DrAid has been Go-live for over 100 hospitals and is expanded to the USA market. Besides\, per our study\, about 30% of radiologists can miss abnormal findings where ‘second opinion AI assistance’ can help improve patient outcomes and bring more productivity to radiologists. \nSpeaker Bio: Mr. Steven Truong is the Founder and CEO of VinBrain\, a subsidiary of Vingroup which is the largest conglomerate in Vietnam. He has been in the AI & Software industry for more than 25 years; and held senior leadership positions for top technology companies in the USA and Canada including Microsoft\, Honeywell and IntelliCommunities. Before joined VinBrain\, he was the Director of AI Incubation &  Engineering – reported directly to Vice President of MSAI – Microsoft USA. He has led multinational teams and key innovation initiatives such as Smart Reply or iRanker for Microsoft Office365 and Workplace Intelligent with millions of users worldwide. Mr. Steven Truong holds a B.A.Sc. in Engineering Science from the University of Toronto (1989) and an MBA\, Information Technology from the University of Phoenix (1997). He has co-authored dozen patents\, white papers and publications in top tier conferences in NLP and Computer Vision fields. \n  \nREGISTER HERE
