  • Hybrid Biomedical Optics Imaging and Instrumentation

    Room: ENG 210, George Vari Centre for Computing and Engineering, 245 Church Street, Toronto, Ontario M5B 2K3

    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”. Day & Time: Friday, February 16, 2018 12:15 p.m. ‐ 1:15 p.m. Speaker: Nima Tabatabaei Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering Director, Hybrid Biomedical Optics Laboratory York University, Canada Location: Room: ENG 210, George Vari Centre for Computing and Engineering 245 Church Street Toronto, Ontario M5B 2K3 Contact: Saba Sedghizade, Maryam Davoudpour Organizer: WIE IEEE Toronto, IEEE Ryerson Student Chapter, Instrumentation-Measurement/Robotics-Automation, Magnetics, and Computer Science Department of Ryerson University Abstract: 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. Biography: 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.

Canada Industrial Research Chair (IRCC) in Smart Connected Buildings Organizers: Magnetics Chapter, WIE IEEE Toronto Location: Ryerson University, Department of Computer Science, Room 288 George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre 245 Church Street Toronto, ON M5B 2K3 Contact: Reza Dibaj Abstract: Have you ever been or worked in a space/classroom that the air was not fresh enough, too cold in the winter or too hot in the summer? Have you ever wondered why even a brand new LEED-certified building is not smart enough and does not let the occupants control their environment, in terms of temperature, lighting et cetera. This presentation aims to provide some insights on the challenges the current industry of building automation is facing and the opportunities that the new advancement such as Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Adaptive Machine Learning (AML) could bring to this industry to make buildings smarter and sociable. In the context of smart city, rather than buildings being primarily treated as loads, intelligent buildings play a significant role in saving energy and improving the comfort and productivity of the occupants; emphasizing the needs for buildings to be social: interact with occupants, share data with each other, learn from each other, and help each other. Biography: Dr. Amir Shabani is the NSERC Industrial Research Chair (IRCC) in Smart Connected Buildings. He is the director of Intelligent Building Automation Systems (IBAS) lab at George Brown College, Toronto, where his research team is closely collaborating with industry leaders on deployment, assessment, and development of new technologies that make homes and buildings smarter and social.

  • Rethink Cities – A FIDIC/EFCA White Paper on Sustainable Urban Development

    Ryerson University, Victoria Building (VIC) 285 Victoria St., 7th Floor, Room 736 (conference room) Toronto, Ontario M5B 1W1

    Friday December 14th, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. Laleh Farhadi, MSc Urban and Regional Planning, will be presenting “Rethink Cities – A FIDIC/EFCA White Paper on Sustainable Urban Development”. Day & Time: Friday December 14th, 2018 1:00 p.m. ‐ 2:00 p.m. Speaker: Laleh Farhadi, MSc Urban and Regional Planning Organizers: Magnetics Chapter, WIE IEEE Toronto Location: Ryerson University, Victoria Building (VIC) 285 Victoria St., 7th Floor, Room 736 (conference room) Toronto, Ontario M5B 1W1 Contact: Reza Dibaj Abstract: Today, over half of the world’s population lives in cities covering 2- 3 % of the Earth’s land area, using 75 % of all energy and emitting 80% of all carbon dioxide. Infrastructure investments in many countries and cities are not at a desirable level or they are steered in the wrong direction while many cities are growing faster geographically than population-wise. Society has to rethink cities. The FIDIC White Paper addresses the need of evolving resource efficiency in cities with increased focus on planning and making socially and economically attractive areas, well-functioning spatial structures and energy efficient systems. To meet the increasingly complex challenges of cities, holistic and integrated approach is needed and rightly applied regarding emissions, climate, resilience, climate risks, flooding, biodiversity, energy and material use, improved quality of life and social responsibility. Biography: Laleh Farhadi is an Urban Planner, internationally experienced in both private and public sectors on different types of plans and projects related to the city and its ongoing challenges. During a project in Consulting Engineering Firm, while reviewing and providing feedback for a FIDIC White Paper called “Rethink Cities”, she faced the fact that the total built environment (not just the individual buildings) requires sustainable overall solutions that form synergies in solutions for society, buildings, infrastructure, and technical systems. This presentation based on FIDIC/ EFCA White Paper is a step forward to this knowledge and responsibility sharing with the hope of professional cooperation among various effecting fields in the city.
