SUMMARY:Wireless Positioning and Sensing Network (WPSN™) for Hyper-Accurate Indoor & Outdoor Location Tracking System with Applications in the Critical and Massive IoT
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday October 8th\, 2019 at 3:00 p.m. Peyman Moeini\, B. Eng.\, MASc\, PMP\, P.Eng.\, will be presenting “Wireless Positioning and Sensing Network (WPSN™) for Hyper-Accurate Indoor & Outdoor Location Tracking System with Applications in the Critical and Massive IoT”. \nDay & Time: Tuesday\, October 8\, 2019\n3:00 p.m. ‐ 4:00 p.m. \nSpeaker: Peyman Moeini\, B. Eng.\, MASc\, PMP\, P.Eng.\nFounder and CEO of Peytec \nOrganizers: IEEE Toronto Instrumentation & Measurement Chapter\, Women in Engineering \nLocation: Progress Campus\n941 Progress Ave\, Scarborough\, ON M1G 3T8\nRoom L1-12 \nContact: Dr. Maryam Davoudpour \nAbstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN’s) are the building blocks of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Industrial IoT in the physical layer; however\, they lack a fundamental aspect; WSN’s are not designed to be located. There has been several research papers published that addresses the addition of localization capability in various Wireless Sensor Networks such as Zigbee\, BLE’s\, LoRa modules\, and NB-IoT. In virtually all of the mentioned networks\, by adding the localization capability other network and tags advantages such as latency\, battery life\, scalability\, and reliability will be negatively affected; in addition\, the localization accuracy obtained would vary significantly depending on the sample rate and method of localization. Most localization methodologies used to locate the position of a moving tag with the mentioned WSN’s utilize Received Signal Strength (RSSI) which is a range free methodology which often has poor localization accuracy and it is not repeatable nor reliable. To address this problem a groundbreaking Wireless Positioning and Sensing Network (WPSN™) is designed developed where not only a localization accuracy of 10 cm is maintained but also latency\, reliability\, scalability\, and battery life of the tags are not sacrificed to maintain and sustain the 10 cm localization accuracy. \nBiography:\nPeyman Moeini\, B. Eng.\, MASc\, PMP\, P.Eng.\, is an entrepreneur engineer who has launched several successful Internet of Things (IoT) & Artificial Intelligence (AI) products in various fields such as agriculture\, manufacturing\, logistics\, freight\, retail\, and mining. He has won more than 30 innovation and entrepreneurship awards in the IoT&AI fields. Peyman has extensive knowledge and experience in the IoT&AI spaces. Through his career\, Peyman has developed an AI algorithm that made the time efficiency of software 500 times faster for the exact same results! He holds several patents in this space and is the founder and CEO of Peytec\, a Smart Industrial IoT&AI company that builds and sells hyper-accurate “Indoor GPS” and Sensing Systems. Through his initiatives\, Peyman is on a mission to help make Canada be the global leader in IoT&AI space.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Biomedical Optics Imaging and Instrumentation
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, February 16th at 12:15 p.m.\, Nima Tabatabaei\, Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Director of Hybrid Biomedical Optics Laboratory at York University\, will be presenting “Hybrid Biomedical Optics Imaging and Instrumentation”. \nDay & Time: Friday\, February 16\, 2018\n12:15 p.m. ‐ 1:15 p.m. \nSpeaker: Nima Tabatabaei\nAssistant Professor\, Department of Mechanical Engineering\nDirector\, Hybrid Biomedical Optics Laboratory\nYork University\, Canada \nLocation: Room: ENG 210\, George Vari Centre for Computing and Engineering\n245 Church Street\nToronto\, Ontario M5B 2K3 \nContact: Saba Sedghizade\, Maryam Davoudpour \nOrganizer: WIE IEEE Toronto\, IEEE Ryerson Student Chapter\, Instrumentation-Measurement/Robotics-Automation\, Magnetics\, and Computer Science Department of Ryerson University \nAbstract: The focus of professor Tabatabaei’s research is on the design and instrumentation of thermal and optical imaging technologies and devices with applications in medical diagnosis and screening. Optics-based medical devices are of particular interest to him due to their intrinsic ability of revealing malignancies in early stages. The early diagnosis of diseases improves the effectiveness of treatments\, promotes prevention rather than medical intervention\, and is probably the only approach for us to win the war on cancer. However\, one of the major challenges in optical imaging of endogenous tissue contrast is the poor specificity due to background signals from healthy tissues. Professor Tabatabaei’s research vision is to overcome this shortcoming by separating excitation and detection channels using Hybrid methods. In this scenario\, crosstalk between the channels\, selectively\, takes place by energy conversion at malignant sites that are sensitive to the excitation thus minimizing (if not eliminating) the signals originating form background health tissues. \nBiography: Nima Tabatabaei is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the director of Hybrid Biomedical Optics laboratory (http://www.HBOLab.ca) at the York University (Canada). He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Materials Science and Engineering and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (University of Toronto; 2012) before carrying out research at the Harvard Medical School and Wellman Center for Photomedicine as postdoctoral fellow. His research interests are design and development of hybrid biomedical optics imaging technologies for applications in early disease diagnosis and screening.
