Speaker: Prof. Nikilesh Chawla, Purdue University, School of Materials Engineering Register: www.asmontario.org
Date: Apr 8, 2021 Presenter: Marco Montoya (MASc candidate) Supervisors: Prof. D. Perovic, Prof. T. Coyle, Prof. J. Howe ABSTRACT: Wired glass is a common construction material consisting of conventional annealed glass with an embedded steel mesh, used in buildings as a fire safety glass. When the glass fractures under the thermal stresses caused by a fire, the […]
The Toronto Science Policy Network is hosting a Career Talk with Dr. Marga Gual Soler, Founder & Director of SciDipGLOBAL and a leader in science diplomacy. Dr. Gual Soler will discuss the basics of science diplomacy, how early career researchers can get involved and her experience as a professional at this interface. There will be […]
Dr. Afsaneh Fazly, Research Director, Samsung Toronto AI Centre Register for the Zoom event Abstract: Wouldn’t we all love to seamlessly communicate and interact with our cell phones, smart watches, and even our home appliances? This is indeed the holy grail of AI: to build machines and systems that can think, behave, and communicate in a […]
Join us this April as Professor Frank Gu discusses taking global solutions for sustainability from the lab into business. Conducting research and training of highly skilled researchers have long been a central focus of universities. A roadmap to bring knowledge created in an academic lab to a practical application can be a convoluted and challenging process. In […]
When: Wed, April 14, 2021 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM EDT How are biomedical engineering and biotechnology evolving? What are the keys to being able to build a successful career in a changing industry? Which techniques contribute to research and innovation in academia and industry? What other backgrounds and skills are shaping the future of […]
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 […]
