Buildings not only offer space for working and living\, they are also capital investments. Their value can be maintained only if they are operated cost-effectively. A constant reliable energy supply is central for economic growth and stability\, as well as social wellbeing. However today’s grids were not designed to handle the growing power requirements or the increasing proportion of fluctuating power generated from renewable sources. Transportation of people and goods is a top priority for metropolitan areas. Population growth\, congestion and the growing demand for mobility all place increasing burdens on transport systems with negative impacts for businesses\, residents and overall quality of life. A Smart City applies state-of-the-art solutions enabled and improved by holistic Integration for the sake of the people\, of the administration\, of the business as well as of the environment. \n6:00 pm-6:30 pm: Opening \n6:30 pm-7:00 pm: Introduction to Smart Cities by Lucia Casacia\, Vice President\, Cities and Infrastructure Projects\, Siemens Canada & Dr. Tom Murad\, Country Lead – Engineering\, Technology & Academic Relations\, Siemens Canada \n7:00 pm-7:20 pm: Transportation Initiatives and Vision of the City of Toronto by Gregg Loanne\, Manager of ITS\, City of Toronto \n7:20 pm-7:40 pm: Preparing for Automated Vehicles at the City of Toronto by Fahad Khan\, Project Lead\, City of Toronto \n7:40 pm-8:00 pm: Focusing on Smart to Move Toronto from Good to Great by Natasha Apollonova\, Associate Vice President\, Policy\, Toronto Board of Trade \n8:00 pm-8:10 pm: Open Panel Discussion on Job Opportunities in Technology Infrastructure and Smart Cities \n8:10 pm-8:20 pm: Q&A \n8:20 pm-8:30 pm: Closing \nBiography:\nLucia Casacia\nAs the Vice President\, Cities and Infrastructure Projects\, Lucia leads Siemens Canada’s strategic focus on cities account management in order to leverage federal\, provincial and municipal government infrastructure investment in cities across Canada.

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.

SUMMARY:Canada’s Robotics Moment
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in depth discussion on Canada’s place amidst global trends and opportunities in the robotics market.\nCanada has a unique opportunity to leverage its international reputation in AI (artificial intelligence) to tap into the fast-growing commercial robotics market. Canada invested early and wisely in AI\, culminating in the recent explosion in investment\, commercial activity and global recognition. \nRobotics is the next frontier for innovation and investment. The Canadarm delivered international profile for executing high-stakes feats of robotic ingenuity. That success has been repeated in field after field without similar recognition. It’s time to bring thought leaders and stakeholders together to shape a comprehensive national robotics strategy. \nLed by Andra Keay\, Managing Director\, Silicon Valley Robotics\, speakers will explore the collaborations\, supports and partnerships needed to establish Canada as a global player in the commercial robotics market. A panel from industry\, government and academia will discuss Canada’s strengths and how to capitalize on them to build a vibrant robotics industry. Speakers include: \nAndra Keay\, Managing Director\, Silicon Valley Robotics\nDr. Molly Schoichet\, OC\, OOnt\, Chief Scientist\, Ontario\nHallie Siegel\, Innovation Strategist\nDr. Farzad Rayegani\, Dean of Applied Technology\, Humber College\nDr. William Melek\, Director of Mechatronics Engineering\, University of Waterloo \nDay & Time: Thursday\, February 8\, 2018\n2:30 p.m. ‐ 5:30 p.m. \nLocation: Autodesk Technology Centre\n661 University Avenue\, Suite 100\, MaRS Discovery District \nContact: Maryam Davoudpour \nOrganizer: WIE IEEE Toronto\, Instrumentation-Measurement/Robotics-Automation \nRVSP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/canadas-robotics-moment-tickets-42391575343?aff=AIPromo \nAgenda: \n2:30 pm. Welcome\, Adriana Ieraci\, Founder\, GYBO Robotics Network \n2:35 pm. A National Robotics Strategy for Canada\, Hallie Siegel\, Innovation Strategist \n2:50 pm. Global Trends and Opportunities\, Andra Keay\, Managing Director\, Silicon Valley Robotics \n4:05 pm. Panel Discussion: Making it Happen \n5:00 pm.
