Hear from York’s leading faculty members on a wide range of interesting topics that speak to some of the key themes that define York University.\nTickets are $5 and include coffee, light snacks and lunch.\nDate: Saturday, Nov. 15\nTime: 9 a.m.-1 p.m.\nLocation: Life Sciences Building, Keele Campus, York University ( https://map.concept3d.com/?id=1200#!m/317147 )\n\nAttendees will have the opportunity to choose one lecture from each session during the registration process.\nFirst sessions – 10 a.m.\n\nSustainable Technologies for Environmental Remediation (STER)\nSatinder K. Brar, Professor, Lassonde School of Engineering and James and Joanne Love Chair in Environmental Engineering\nThis presentation will explore emerging sustainable technologies designed to remediate contaminated soils, water, and wastewater. Key approaches such as biochar application, enzymatic and microbial bioremediation, and waste-to-resource valorization will be discussed, with a focus on reducing environmental footprints.\n \n \n\nFrom Atoms to Algorithms: How AI and 3D Printing are Creating the Materials of Tomorrow\nSolomon Boakye-Yiadom, Associate Professor, Lassonde School of Engineering\nFrom airplanes and electric vehicles to medical devices, better materials quietly power the technologies we rely on every day. This talk, will demystify how my team combines machine learning with metal 3D printing to rapidly design and build new alloys that are both ultra-strong and tough—two properties that are normally hard to achieve together.\n \n \n\nSecond sessions – 11:20 a.m.\n\nUnderground and Underappreciated – Protecting Canada’s Groundwater Resources OR Beneath the Surface – Why Groundwater Matters\nMagdalena Krol, Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Lassonde School of Engineering\nThis presentation will highlight the vital role groundwater plays in sustaining ecosystems, communities, and industries—especially in Canada, where it supplies drinking water to over 30% of the population and represents around 75% of Canada’s freshwater supply. An overview of the challenges we face in managing this resource sustainably and the need for improved monitoring, protection and policy will be reviewed.\n \n\nTurning Down the Heat: New Ways to Control Inflammation and Arthritis\nAli Abdul-Sater, Professor, Faculty of Health\nInflammation is like a fire in the body, but when it burns too long or too hot, it can damage our joints and lead to arthritis. In this talk, Dr. Ali Abdul-Sater will share how exercise and new treatments are helping to cool that fire down. Viewers will come away with a clear picture of how science is finding new ways to control inflammation and bring hope to people living with arthritis.\n
