Artificial Intelligence Expert Panel

Join the Department of Systems Design Engineering for a panel discussion with artificial intelligence experts.

Dr. Bryan Tripp, Associate Professor, Systems Design Engineering Dr. Tripp uses computational models to study how the brain processes information. He integrates neurobiological models and deep learning to study visuomotor processes. He is also interested in applying these models in challenging robotics tasks, to better understand how the brain deals with the complex physical world.

Dr. Mihaela Vlasea, Associate Professor, Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering Additive manufacturing is rapidly changing the manufacturing landscape. Dr.

Vlasea’s research focuses on innovative design, process optimization and adoption of new materials for powder bed fusion and binder jetting additive manufacturing processes. The research goals are to bridge the technological gaps necessary to improve part quality, process repeatability and reliability.

Dr. Alex Wong, Canada Research Chair in Artificial Intelligence and Medical Imaging, Professor, Systems Design Engineering Dr. Wong is internationally recognized for his pioneering contributions to operational artificial intelligence and computational medical imaging. His work on scalable and explainable deep learning aims at making AI technology accessible to everyone, and at gaining a deeper understanding in how neural networks think. A prolific innovator, his creative work in computational medical imaging has led to the invention of a new form of MRI designed for cancer detection, the first blood-flow imaging system for observing arterial and venous flow from a distance, and a spectral light-field fusion microscope without lenses.

Health relationships and the bro code

This workshop is often taken third, however it can be completed at any point as an individual session or as part of the certificate.

In this session we will discuss what true consent means, signs of a healthy vs. unhealthy relationship, and why the ‘Bro Code’, an unspoken playbook men are expected to learn through adolescence, is inherently problematic.
