  • LLE: Mission-driven innovation – how to accelerate lab-to-scale technology maturation to combat climate change

    Bahen Centre for Information Technology (Room BA1190), 40 St. George St, Toronto, ON, M5S 2E4

    Join Anita Sommer to learn how you can accelerate your research and development activities through a mission-driven innovation approach to navigate volatility, ambiguity, and complexity while delivering research & technology development performance. Anita will share state-of-the-art case examples from the LEGO Group’s zero impact journey and from the Novo Nordisk Foundation CO2 Research Center delivering unique progress on CO2 capture & […]

  • LLE: Big Data in Nanoporous Materials – Science beyond Understanding

    Willson Hall (WI 1016), 40 Willcocks Street, Toronto, ON, Canada, M5S 1C6

    Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are highly versatile materials for gas separation, storage, sensing, and catalysis. Their modular design allows almost unlimited structural variation, but finding the best material for a specific use remains a significant challenge. The design options are immense, objectives can conflict, and even ideal structures in theory can be hard to produce. Artificial […]

  • LLE: Creating a New Circular Carbon Economy via Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage

    Bahen Centre for Information Technology (Room BA1190), 40 St. George St, Toronto, ON, M5S 2E4

    To meet the ever-increasing global energy demands while addressing climate change, the development of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies is one of the critical needs. In particular, there have been significant efforts to develop innovative CO2 capture materials and CO2 conversion technologies to create a new circular carbon economy based on renewable energy. The next-generation […]

  • LLE: Synthesizing Sustainable Systems: Electrochemical Approaches to Greener Chemical Production

    Wallberg Building, Room WB-116, 200 College St, Toronto, ON, M5S 3E4

    The chemical industry is one of the biggest contributors to climate change, with a two-fold dependence on fossil fuels, both as starting materials and as an energy source for chemical reactions. The Baker group aims to reduce this reliance by developing electrochemical reactions that use renewable building blocks, thus increasing process sustainability and enabling new […]

  • LLE: Life Electric: Interactions, physiology, and ecosystem impact of cooperative microbial methane-oxidation in anoxic deep ocean sediments

    Wallberg Building, Room WB-116, 200 College St, Toronto, ON, M5S 3E4

    Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is a globally significant methane sink in the ocean. It is mediated by slow-growing microorganisms that have been challenging to culture in the laboratory. In deep-sea cold seeps, where methane is advected to the seabed, AOM is largely mediated through syntrophic relationships between diverse methane-oxidizing archaea (ANME) and sulfate-reducing bacteria […]

  • Revolutionary Ideas for Research Universities: Where all of the students learn how to do research.

    Wallberg Building, Room WB-116, 200 College St, Toronto, ON, M5S 3E4

    Let us change the metric for excellence from the quantity of research funding that our faculty attract to the number of students—at all levels—who are learning how to do research. In my recent book, What Could a University Be? I explore several new ideas in order to turn the university upside-down, round-and-round, and inside-out—and the […]

  • LLE: Sustainable Aviation Fuels Take Flight: Pathways to Production and Global Adoption under CORSIA

    Wallberg Building, Room WB-116, 200 College St, Toronto, ON, M5S 3E4

    Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) are being developed globally, supported by the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), a program developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The CORSIA standards become mandatory for virtually all UN Member States in 2027, and aim to achieve carbon-neutral growth in international aviation emissions by 2050 […]
