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.

However\, often\, access to electricity is taken for granted. We don’t think about the complexity of the electrical grid and the amount of impressive sophisticated engineering designs that go into it. \nIEEE Toronto’s Industrial Relations Committee is excited to be hosting a series of educational seminars that aim to give participants an insight into the planning\, designing and work that go into operating the grid to make sure we have a reliable access to electricity every minute of every day. \nThe Topic of the seminar on February 23rd is Microgrids. The global demand for electricity will increase by 28% by 2040. At the same time the availability of electricity is hampered by increasing adverse weather events\, price fluctuations and emerging technologies and business models. Microgrids are in the front line to tackle these new challenges. But what are microgrids and why do they matter? This seminar will answer these questions and more by looking at specific examples of microgrid deployments and business cases that have been undertaken by Alectra Utilities; one of the largest municipally owned utilities in North America\, serving almost a million customers in the GTA. \nBiography: Shuvo Chowdhury serves as a the Manager of Microgrid Technologies at Alectra Energy Solutions Inc. His particular focus is in utility grid\, commercial/industrial and residential scale microgrids that incorporate battery energy storage technologies and their accompanying Energy Management Systems. Shuvo has a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Mechatronics from the University of Toronto. \nPrior to joining the Alectra Energy Solutions team at\, he was employed by Quanta Technology.
