Date: Apr 15, 2021 Presenter: John Camkiran (PhD candidate, 1st Seminar) Supervisors: Prof. G. Hibbard, Prof. F. Parsch ABSTRACT: A longstanding hypothesis is that local dynamics in many-body systems can be explained by local structure—that is, the relationship between a particle and its neighbourhood. Yet, despite the vast array of physical systems that take the form of many interacting […]

Date: Apr 22, 2021 Presenter: Kok Long Ng (PhD candidate, 2nd Seminar) Supervisor: Prof. G. Azimi ABSTRACT: The ever-increasing demands for clean and sustainable energy storage solutions have driven researchers around the world to explore beyond lithium-based battery chemistries that utilize earth-abundant materials. To this end, aluminum (Al)-ion battery presents itself as a promising alternative as it can […]
Title: The Application of Machine Learning to Multi-Sensor Based Ore Sorting Presenter: Matthew Goldbaum (MASc candidate) Supervisor: Prof. Erin Bobicki ABSTRACT: The mineral processing industry is currently facing major challenges such as high energy consumption in comminution and the exponential growth of produced tailings (waste) caused by decreasing ore grades and increasing global demand for metals. One technique to […]
Title: Novel Cu-P-based Electrocatalysts for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Presenter: Arthur Sloan (MASc candidate) Supervisor: Prof. Steven J. Thorpe ABSTRACT: With the decreasing cost of renewable energy (solar, wind), reducing the capital cost of electrolysers is key to future hydrogen generation. Ongoing improvements in the performance of anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolysers have led to renewed interest in […]

Title: Nuclear Fusion, Wall Loading and Materials: on the Difficult Life of a Material Close to a Thermonuclear […]
he Toronto Science Policy Network is hosting a #JustTheFacts public panel focusing on Canada’s Green Energy Infrastructure Programs. In this panel we explore how funding programs within the Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) work, the involvement of stakeholder communities, and the relationship between industry and academic partners. How do projects get selected and what impact do […]
Join us this May as Professor Glenn Hibbard discusses the newest innovations in materials research. Because of the diverse landscape of their applications, materials research is typically conducted within isolated silos of specialization. While this has been a historical necessity, we are now at a point where it makes sense to consider the complexity of interactions across […]
Join us on Wednesday, April 21st, for a special edition of the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering's Disruptors & Dilemmas speaker series, featuring alumni and faculty from U of T Engineering, the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, and the Rotman School of Management. Canada's Digital Strategy: Growing the Economy Bit by Bit As the economy begins to […]
The InVEST (International Virtual Engineering Student Teams) program is an initiative at the University of Toronto (U of T) in the Institute for Studies in Transdisciplinary Engineering Education and Practice (ISTEP) in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. InVEST creates connections between faculty and students at U of T and numerous partner institutions around the globe based on mutual interest in research […]
On behalf of U of T Talks and Raw Talk Podcast in the Institute of Medical Science, we are extending our invitation for you all to join us virtually for this year’s symposium, Our Health on Thin Ice! Please join us on June 2nd, 2021 from 5:30 - 8:30 pm for an evening of discourse […]
A lecture by Prof. Doug Perovic So which belief is true: ‘accidents happen’ or ‘everything happens for a reason’? Behavioural sciences show that in the world of interpretation, human judgement is powerfully affected by how problems are initially framed. As humans, we are prone to subconsciously anchor on preconceived notions and then tend to […]
