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).
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.
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.
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.
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Retreat
ATOMS Lab hosted an EDI Retreat centered on “Learnings on Knowledge Translation with Indigenous Communities in Engineering,” featuring inspiring talks by Indigenous leaders Prof. Melanie Jeffrey, Prof. Vito Masi and Prof. Luis D. Virla. The retreat offered deep engagement with indigenous knowledge systems, reconciliation in engineering, and the role of identity and power in research.
