ATOMS, Jule & Mitacs Collaboration
ATOMS Lab is collaborating with Jule Powered by eCAMION through a Mitacs-supported project to develop a digital twin framework for thermal management of lithium-ion battery energy storage systems. Ontario Minister Nolan Quinn visited Jule’s Scarborough facility with MPPs Aris Babikian and David Smith, Mitacs representatives, Dr. Craig Stephenson and the Centennial College team. The ATOMS Lab presented its collaborative research with Jule and highlighted the value of industry, academia, and government collaboration.
TherMET CREATE Seminar
ATOMS Lab hosted a NSERC CREATE short course seminar by Prof. Greg F. Naterer from University of Prince Edward Island, titled ‘Entropy-Based Methods in Thermal Management of Electrochemical Systems.’ The seminar was followed by presentations from ATOMS Lab researchers and a visit to the Thermal Management Systems (TMS) Lab.
Engineering Outreach-Blueprint
ATOMS Lab was pleased to host Grade 10–11 students from the Discover Blueprint program for an engineering outreach visit to the Thermal Management Systems (TMS) Lab and University of Toronto Formula Racing (UTFR) labs. Students were introduced to the cutting-edge research, hands-on learning, and the exciting possibilities within engineering and STEM.
TherMET CREATE Retreat
ATOMS Lab hosted the NSERC TherMET CREATE Retreat at Toronto’s Centre Island, bringing together trainees for a day of experiential learning and team building.
