Abstract With an ever-increasing focus on green technology and power generation, CHP can play a major role in decarbonizing our energy sector. Generating electricity locally and capturing heat traditionally rejected to atmosphere, can improve the overall efficiency of our energy system and enable the usage of intermittent renewables by providing a reliable source of consistent

Abstract COVID-19 has broadly changed our day-to-day lives and has brought microbiology front and centre in everyday conversation. From RT-qPCR to variants to mRNA vaccines to wastewater-based epidemiology, these strange words from the realm of science have become mainstream parts of our daily lexicon. This talk will discuss the current field of COVID-19 diagnostics and

Abstract David Kelly will talk about the impact and economics of small scale energy storage, highlighting how it can be used with solar power for residential and small business applications. Bio David Kelly David Kelly entered the solar industry in 2001 when he installed a 600 watt solar photovoltaic (PV) system on his own home

Abstract It is possible to replace coal with low or zero carbon electricity in Alberta and Saskatchewan using existing technology: Compressed Air Energy Storage. The generation of wind and solar electricity now costs less than all other new electricity. Its generation, however, depends entirely on the availability of adequate sunlight and wind. Compressed Air Energy

Dr. Kattan will talk about the evolving transportation landscape as related to autonomous, connected and electric vehicles, their potential safety, operational, social and environmental impacts and possible pathways to sustainable transportation future.

Abstract Canada’s provinces are not created equal. There are tremendous disparities in size, wealth and endowment of natural resources among them. For instance, Ontario’s population is over 14 million and its GDP more than $744 Billion, while Prince Edward Island has a population of 154 thousand and a GDP of $6 Billion. The wide gulf between Ontario’s

Abstract With the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, Biomedical Engineering researchers at the University of Calgary started work on various projects to help ease the situation, from developing a novel, low-cost, easy-to-produce respirator to 3-D printing of safety masks for healthcare workers. The various projects undertaken and their current status will be described. Bio Dr.
