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.

DESCRIPTION:Friday May 24th\, 2019 at 12:15 p.m. Prof. Zahra Moussavi\, Director of the Biomedical Engineering Program at University of Manitoba and Canada Research Chair\, will be presenting “Assessment of Egocentric Spatial Orientation using Virtual Reality for Diagnosis and Monitoring Alzheimer’s Disease”. \nDay & Time: Friday May 24th\, 2019\n12:15 p.m. ‐ 1:15 p.m. \nSpeaker: Zahra Moussavi\nDirector of the Biomedical Engineering Program\nProfessor & Canada Research Chair\nDepartment of Electrical & Computer Engineering\nUniversity of Manitoba \nOrganizers: IEEE Toronto WIE\, IEEE Toronto\, IEEE Toronto Engineering in Medicine and Biology Chapter\, UHN \nLocation: TRI-UC\, Basement Lecture Theatre\n550 University Ave.\, Toronto\, M5G 2A2 \nGoToMeeting: https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/543203653 \nContact: Dr. Maryam Davoudpour \nAbstract: Memory and cognitive declines are associated with normal brain aging but are also precursors to dementia\, in particular the so called the pandemic of the century\, Alzheimer’s disease. While currently there is no cure or “vaccine” against dementia\, based on brain’s plasticity\, there are hopes to delay the onset or to slow the progression of disease. \nAlzheimer’s disease is multi-facet condition; thus\, the key to its management is in multi- disciplinary approaches. The clinical diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders\, in general\, is based on an extensive evaluation of cognition and behavioral performance along with functional status\, which provides a variable grade of accuracy especially at early stages of the disease. In this talk\, I will review diagnostic objective methods that can assist Alzheimer’s diagnosis. In particular\, I will elaborate on the application and research outcomes of virtual reality egocentric spatial assessment for and its potentials for a differential diagnosis of Alzheimer’s versus other types of dementia. \nBiography: Zahra Moussavi is a professor\, a Canada Research Chair\, and the founder and director of Biomedical Engineering Graduate Program at University of Manitoba. Her current research focuses are on medical devices instrumentation and signal analysis for sleep apnea management and Alzheimer’s diagnosis and treatment using virtual reality\, rTMS and EVestG technologies. She is the recipient of several awards including the “Canada’s Most Powerful Women (Top 100)” and “Manitoba Distinguished Women” in 2014 and IEEE EMBS Distinguished Lecturer\, 2014 and 2019. She has published more than 259 peer-reviewed papers in journals and conferences\, and has given 94 invited talks/seminars including 2 Tedx Talks and 9 keynote speaker seminars at national and international conferences. Aside from academic work\, on her spare time\, she writes science articles for public; also has developed and offered memory fitness programs for aging population. \nPoster Link: Click here

SUMMARY:Rethink Cities – A FIDIC/EFCA White Paper on Sustainable Urban Development
DESCRIPTION: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”. \nDay & Time: Friday December 14th\, 2018\n1:00 p.m. ‐ 2:00 p.m. \nSpeaker: Laleh Farhadi\, MSc Urban and Regional Planning \nOrganizers: Magnetics Chapter\, WIE IEEE Toronto \nLocation: Ryerson University\, Victoria Building (VIC)\n285 Victoria St.\, 7th Floor\, Room 736 (conference room)\nToronto\, Ontario M5B 1W1 \nContact: Reza Dibaj \nAbstract: 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. \nThe 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. \nTo 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. \nBiography: 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. \nDuring 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. \nThis 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.

SUMMARY:Smart Connected Buildings Form the Foundation of Smart City: Today’s Possibility\, Tomorrow’s Necessity
DESCRIPTION:Monday December 10th\, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. Amir Shabani\, Ph.D.\, P.Eng.\, Canada Industrial Research Chair (IRCC) in Smart Connected Buildings\, will be presenting “Smart Connected Buildings Form the Foundation of Smart City: Today’s Possibility\, Tomorrow’s Necessity”. \nDay & Time: Monday December 10th\, 2018\n1:00 p.m. ‐ 2:00 p.m. \nSpeaker: Amir Shabani\, Ph.D.\, P.Eng.\nCanada Industrial Research Chair (IRCC) in Smart Connected Buildings \nOrganizers: Magnetics Chapter\, WIE IEEE Toronto \nLocation: Ryerson University\, Department of Computer Science\, Room 288\nGeorge Vari Engineering and Computing Centre\n245 Church Street Toronto\, ON M5B 2K3 \nContact: Reza Dibaj \nAbstract: 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. \nThis 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. \nBiography: 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.
