Strategizing Your Intellectual Property
Monday, October 18, 2021 12:00-1:00pm
Joanna Ma, B.A.Sc. (Elec. Eng.)(Hons.), J.D.
Technology Lawyer, Bereskin & Parr LLP
As part of the Water Institute's WaterTalks lecture series, Megan Konar, William J. and Elaine F. Hall Faculty Fellow, Associate Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA, presents, "Water Resources and Food Supply Chains."
Megan will discuss two recent papers related to her work assessing water resources and food supply chains
Part #1. Groundwater depletion embedded in domestic transfers and international exports of the United States
Part #2. Food flows between counties in the United States
As part of the Water Institute's WaterLeadership training series, the Water Institute, presents, "Create engaging virtual presentations" with special guest, Elise Vist from the UW Writing and Communication Centre.
In this seminar learn from Dr. Maritza Salazar Campo, Assistant Professor of Organization & Management at the Paul Merage School of Business, University of California Irvine.
Join Chris Wilson, faculty member at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, in conversation with scientific outreach manager John Donohue. They’ll discuss his latest journal article entitled “Quantum Simulation of the Bosonic Creutz Ladder with a Parametric Cavity” was published in Physical Review Letters on September 2, 2021. His team has developed a new quantum simulator that uses microwave photons in a superconducting cavity to simulate particles on a lattice similar to those found in superconductors or atomic nuclei.
In December 2001, the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty released its ground-breaking report “The Responsibility to Protect” or R2P as it is now commonly known. Twenty years later, the norm of R2P remains contested.
Join us on November 11, 2021 at 12:30pm EST as we discuss the complex relationship – both in theory and practice – between IHL and R2P. Register in advance to receive Zoom access link.

Co-hosted by the Water Institute and The Turkstra Chair in Urban Engineering.
Sustainable nanomaterials, such as cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are rod-like nanoparticles obtained by sulfuric acid hydrolysis of cellulose fibres. Several properties of CNCs, such as its availability, low cost, high mechanical strength, large number of surface functional groups, high surface area per volume and aspect ratio have led to an increasing interest in using them for adsorption and controlled release applications. Pristine CNCs were incorporated into hydrogel beads in order to eliminate the need for centrifugation.
