BRN Brilliance: Engineering the Heart
Congratulations to Ferdinand Reke, a PhD candidate working under supervision of Prof. Cristina Amon at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, on his feature in UofT News (Link Here), for using computational modelling to identify the optimal biochemical and mechanical conditions that allow heart cell tissue to grow efficiently in the lab.
Prof. Marc Rosen’s Seminar & Visit to TMS Lab
ATOMS Lab hosted Prof. Marc Rosen from Ontario Tech University, who delivered a seminar titled “Energy Sustainability: A Key Pathway to Sustainable Development,” followed by a visit to the Thermal Management Systems (TMS) Laboratory.
Preparing the Next Generation in Electrification Technologies!
ATOMS lab hosted Grade 12 high school students from Elsie MacGill Secondary School for a tour at the University of Toronto. The visit included the ATOMS Thermal Management Systems (TMS) Lab, the University of Toronto Formula Racing (UTFR) Lab, the Geothermal Exchange Plant, and the live EV Charging Laboratory, along with undergraduate admissions information session providing students with firsthand exposure to cutting-edge technologies and preparing the next generation of Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP).
Chroma’s Visit to TMS Lab
We extend our sincere thanks to Chroma’s team for their recent visit and hands-on training session on “Experimental Battery Testing with Chroma Cyclers”.
This engaging and informative session provided valuable insights into advanced battery testing techniques and data analysis, enhancing our team’s understanding of real-world applications in energy storage research.
Congratulations Graduating Students!
We proudly congratulate Abbas Ali and Farshad Tajeddini on successfully completing their PhDs, and Julia Bauer on her MASc graduation from the ATOMS Lab, supervised by Prof. Cristina Amon. Abbas’s research focused on “A Multimetric, Spatially Dependent, Physics-Based Lithium-Ion Battery Aging Model,” Farshad’s on “Advanced Modeling, In Silico Experiments, and In Vivo Visualization of Cardiovascular Flows,” and Julia’s on “Particle Tracing Analysis Using Computational Fluid Dynamics: Particle Residence Time and Exposure to Shear Stress and Energy Dissipation Rate for Vertical Wheel Bioreactor Scale-Up” conducted in collaboration with the Laflamme Group at the University Health Network.
Celebratory Lunch
ATOMS lab hosted a celebratory lunch in honor of our students’ achievements and milestones. We were delighted to recognize Farshad, Julia, and Nili for the successful completion of their programs. At the same time, we warmly welcome our new members, Anthony, Issac, Arjun and Rohan who recently joined ATOMS lab.
