SUMMARY:Wearable Mechatronic Garments for Motion Assessment and Support
DESCRIPTION:Join the IEEE Toronto Instrumentation & Measurement – Robotics & Automation Joint Chapter for a technical talk on the Wearable Mechatronic Garments for Motion Assessment and Support presented by Dr. Ana Luisa Trejos.  Wednesday\, August 9\, 2023 @ 4:00 – 5:00 PM  Abstract: More than 3.5 billion people suffer from neurological or musculoskeletal disorders. The aging population and growing obesity rates in Canada are predicted to substantially increase the prevalence of these conditions\, which result in limited mobility and a reduced quality of life. The rehabilitation programs required to recover from these conditions are expensive\, time consuming\, overwhelming\, and limited in their effectiveness. Incomplete recovery results in chronic pain and disability associated with limited mobility that costs Canadians over $20 billion each year in direct and indirect costs.  To help patients recover fully from mobility-related disorders or to assist with long-lasting mobility issues\, Dr. Trejos is leading an interdisciplinary research team focused on the design and development of wearable biomechatronic devices. The ultimate goal for these advanced technologies is to have them monitor patient performance and actively respond to their needs in real time by providing therapy\, ensuring adherence and engagement\, and directly communicating with clinicians. This talk will focus on presenting our progress to date at the Wearable Biomechatronics Laboratory\, focusing on the design of novel unobtrusive actuators\, embedded sensors for tracking patient biosignals\, control systems that advance the intelligence of the devices\, and user interfaces to communicate with patients and clinicians.

SUMMARY:Diagnostic and Prognostic Medical Devices
DESCRIPTION:Join the IEEE Toronto Instrumentation & Measurement – Robotics & Automation Joint Chapter for a talk on the Diagnostic and Prognostic Medical Devices\, presented by Dr. Razieh (Neda) Salahandish.  Wednesday\, August 16\, 2023 @ 4:00 – 5:00 PM  Abstract: Clinicians are increasingly interested in employing innovative engineering tools and techniques for early-stage disease diagnosis\, including infectious diseases\, cancers\, and brain injury disorders\, to reduce economic\, social\, and health burdens. Integrated biosensing systems\, which combine various scientific disciplines such as biology\, chemistry\, medicine\, electrical engineering\, and mechanical engineering\, are viewed as effective approaches to tackle the associated medical and health concerns. While conventional laboratory-based testing remains prevalent\, the appeal of routine use of low-cost and near-patient diagnostic systems opens up potential avenues for rapid disease screening\, longitudinal medication effectiveness studies\, biomarker discovery\, and prognostics.  In this research seminar\, Dr. Salahandish delves into the scientific underpinnings and outcomes of her doctoral and postdoctoral research\, as well as her ongoing investigations into novel technologies for biomedical devices\, with a specific focus on wearable diagnostic platforms. This includes the fabrication of compact and multiplexed electrochemical biosensing systems\, utilizing screen-printing of chemically engineered nanomaterial inks\, or developing nanocomposite interfaces to detect disease-related proteins\, RNAs/DNAs\, and metabolites.  Additionally\, Dr. Salahandish will discuss the integration of biosensing strips with microfluidic systems to enable automated on-chip assay performance\, as well as the development of impedance-based bi-potentiostats as custom-made handheld readout systems. The combination of these technologies creates a portable quantitative diagnostic platform. Although the clinical applications of electrochemical sensing are still in the early stages of validation\, there are promising research opportunities in utilizing these biosensors for rapid detection of multiple biomarkers\, wearable and in-vivo biosensing patches and chips\, and tissue modeling organ-on-a-chip systems for drug discovery purposes. These advancements hold great potential in both academic and industrial realms for breakthrough developments in the future.

SUMMARY:IM/DD and Coherent Optical Fiber Transmission Systems: Challenges and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:The insatiable growth of datacenter traffic mandates increasing the capacity of cost-effective transceiver technologies to meet the foreseen demand. Competing configurations include Intensity Modulation / Direct Detection (IM/DD) and coherent transceiver architectures. In this presentation we will discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with these two options including such topics as: wavelength\, reach modulation format\, modulator technology\, and power consumption.  In partnership with the (https://nrc.canada.ca/en/research-development/research-collaboration/programs/high-throughput-secure-networks-challenge-program)Challenge program at National Research Council (NRC)\, we invite you to join this virtual seminar series to promote scientific information sharing\, discussions\, and interactions between researchers.  —-  Résumé : La croissance insatiable du trafic dans les centres de données exige l’augmentation de la capacité des technologies d’émetteurs-récepteurs rentables pour répondre à la demande prévue.

SUMMARY:Electronic-photonic co-design; from optical phase control to optical computing
DESCRIPTION:Integrated electronic-photonic co-design can profoundly impact both fields resulting in advances in several areas such as energy efficient communication\, computation\, signal processing\, imaging\, and sensing. Examples of integrated electronic-photonic co-design may be categorized into two groups: (a) electronic assisted photonics\, where integrated analog\, RF\, mm-wave\, and THz circuits are employed to improve the performance of photonic systems\, and (b) photonic assisted electronics\, where photonic systems and devices are used to improve the performance of integrated RF\, mm-wave\, and THz systems. In this talk\, examples of electronic-photonic co-design such as photonic assisted near-field imaging\, photonic-mmWave deep networks\, and low power laser stabilization and linewidth reduction will be presented.
