Presented by Affordable Energy for Humanity

During his lecture, Dr. Claudio Vergara will present the work being carried out at MIT to support the expansion of access to electricity in the developing world.

In collaboration with Comillas University in Spain, researchers from MIT’s Tata Center for Technology and Design are partnering with Organizations such as the Enel Foundation, Iberdrola, the World Bank, and the German and Belgian International Cooperation Agencies to create impactful
solutions to energy access Issues.

The Waterloo Commercialization Office (WatCo) offers commercialization services and expertise to package and convert research innovations into commercially viable products and services.

The workshop will start with a quick overview of the types of intellectual property protection covered in a previous presentation, and the majority of the workshop focused on a real-life case study. A Q&A and short networking session will follow.

SPEAKER: Yunfeng Lu, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, The University of California Los Angeles

ABSTRACT:  Human civilization has been driven by harvest and utilization of solar energy.  Developing better technologies leading to more effective energy harvest and utilization is being emerged as one of the most essential research themes. 

RBC visiting fellow, Pieter van der Zaag, presents “Water Storage: Nature-based Solutions for Resilient Communities."

A professor of integrated water resources management at the UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education in Delft, The Netherlands and professor at Delft University of Technology, we welcome van der Zaag as part of our ongoing WaterTalks lecture series.

Dr. Madjid Soltani, Post Doctoral Fellow, Johns Hopkins University and Director, Computational Medicine Institute (CMI) at KNT University of Technology and Ministry of Health, Iran.

Keywords: imaging, tumor image diagnostics, tumor treatment and progression, predictive modeling, therapy planning, mathematical modeling of tumor growth, transport phenomena to biological and physiological systems, drug delivery to solid tumors

The Waterloo Institute of Sustainable Energy (WISE) is pleased to host Professor Madjid Soltani, who completed his PhD in Chemical Engineering at the University of Waterloo, to discuss his work with a new wind-catcher design and the study in which it has been implemented. 

ABSTRACT:

These drop-in sessions are designed to help you reduce stress and learn ways to find balance and well-being. Each week, a facilitator will introduce you to stress management practices to help you find relief from stress. These practices will be something you can learn to do yourself to prevent and reduce the negative impact of stress. Wear comfortable clothing, and bring a note pad and pen.
