CARTE Industry Speaker Seminar Series welcomes Brandon Rufino, Ingrid Grozavu, Kartik Pant, Nitesh Soni, and Dimitrije Jankovic from Sanofi’s Data and AI Center of Excellence for an in person industry speaker seminar. Topic: Building a leading digital healthcare platform with data and AI. Registration: Register for this event. Abstract: AI has the power to transform the pharmaceutical industry from increasing research precision, to improving […]
Professor Donna Strickland, University of Waterloo Title: From Nonlinear Optics to High-Intensity Laser Physics Abstract: The laser increased the intensity of light that can be generated by orders of magnitude and thus brought about nonlinear optical interactions with matter. Chirped pulse amplification, also known as CPA, changed the intensity level by a few more orders of magnitude […]
ECE Amplifier returns for its second installment! Our panel comprises both graduate and undergraduate ECE alumnae whose perspective as women in industry has been informed by a wide variety of roles, challenges and triumphs. Alongside Roger Francis, Engineering Career Centre’s Executive Director, and moderated once again by ECE Professor and Chair Deepa Kundur, it’s sure […]
The Joint CARTE (University of Toronto) and University of Seoul Applied AI seminar series welcomes Professor Nicolas Papernot. Registration: Register for this event. Abstract: Machine learning has been perhaps this decade’s most significant technological development, with the prospect of becoming a general-purpose technology. Applications range from autonomous driving to assisting with court decisions. In many of these […]

Professor P.P. Vaidyanathan, California Institute of Technology Title: Srinivasa Ramanujan and Signal Processing Abstract: The great mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan introduced a summation in 1918, today called the Ramanujan-sum. For many years this summation was used by mathematicians to prove important results in number theory. In recent years, some researchers have found applications of this sum in digital […]
Following your Iron Ring ceremony, we will be hosting an ECE Iron Ring Reception and we invite you (and your guest ring presenter if you have chosen to have one at the ceremony) to celebrate with us. Please join us as we celebrate your achievements and welcome you to the calling of an engineer! Light […]
Professor Susan Lord, University of San Diego Title: Enhancing Learning and Inclusivity in Electrical Engineering Abstract: How can we educate students to be the most effective engineers when they graduate? What does it take to attract a broader range of students to electrical and computer engineering? What curricular efforts could support both of these goals? These are […]
Professor Joseph Bardin, University of Massachusetts Amherst Title: Google Quantum AI and The University of Massachusetts Amherst Abstract: Over the past decade, the field of quantum computing has evolved from one primarily known for generating scientific papers to one which promises to enable computations that would not be possible using any other known technology. Following this potential, […]
