SUMMARY:Seminar Speaker Dr. Vikramaditya Yadav\\ Biology as infrastructure:
 \nEngineering the next industrial revolution
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Abstract :\n\nHumanity faces multiple converging crises such as
  pandemics\, climate\nchange\, ecosystem degradation\, and environmental p
 ressures from rising\nglobal prosperity. We urgently need transformative s
 olutions. At the\nsame time\, the past three decades have also witnessed s
 terling\nadvances in genomics\, synthetic biology\, and computation\, whic
 h have\nre-cast living systems as programmable platforms for innovation.\n
 Biology has now matured into a form of infrastructure - an enabling\nlayer
  upon which solutions to health\, the energy transition\, material\nde-fos
 silization and the circular economy can be built.\n\nJust as physical infr
 astructure underpinned the industrial age and\ndigital infrastructure driv
 es the current information age\, biological\ninfrastructure now offers the
  foundation for a sustainable one.\nEngineered biological systems can faci
 litate a more rapid response to\nemerging threats\, enable sustainable res
 ource recovery\, as well as\nupcycle waste into high-value products. In th
 is sense\, biology is no\nlonger confined to the laboratory\; it is becomi
 ng the scaffolding of a\nnew industrial paradigm where living and designed
  systems work in\nconcert to sustain civilization.

SUMMARY:MASc Oral Exam/ Analysis of Heterogeneities in a 20 L Bioreactor by
 \nDanny Kang
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Biological systems are essential in biopharmaceuticals\, where 
 rising\ndemand requires efficient bioreactor operation. Scaling from lab t
 o\nindustry is limited by gradients from poor mixing\, reducing yields\nth
 rough cell stress and adaptation. This work quantified dissolved\noxygen\,
  pH\, and kLa gradients in a 20 L bioreactor. While cell density\nand meta
 bolite gradients were inconclusive\, metabolic responses were\nmodeled wit
 h modified Monod kinetics\, which adapted well to differing\nconditions.

SUMMARY:Distinguished Speaker Seminar Series\\ Novel applications and\ndeve
 lopments utilizing photopolymerizations
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Photopolymerization reactions have been explored and utilized s
 ince\nthe time of the ancient Egyptians\; however\, development of new\nph
 otopolymerization methodologies and applications continues at an\never mor
 e rapid pace.  Traditionally\, photopolymerization of\nmultifunctional mo
 nomers results in highly crosslinked materials\nsuitable for applications 
 as optical lenses\, optical fiber coatings\,\nand dental materials.  Thes
 e reactions are ubiquitous not only\nbecause of the nature of the final po
 lymer product\, but also for the\ncharacteristics of the reaction itself.
   Photopolymerizations are far\nmore energy efficient than their thermal 
 counterparts\, are typically\nperformed in a solventless manner that is mo
 re environmentally\ncompatible\, the reactions occur rapidly at ambient co
 nditions\, and the\npolymerization can be controlled in both time and spac
 e.

SUMMARY:Seminar/ Biomass Valorization for Sustainable Bioeconomy
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:I\n\nIt is clear\, that by mid-century\, to avoid the 
 worst-case scenarios of\nanthropogenic climate change\, our society will h
 ave to rely on\nsustainable and renewable resources rather than fossil fue
 ls. Biomass\nis a key proposed component of several climate mitigation str
 ategies\,\nwith substantial involvement of future energy and material syst
 ems.\nThe general objective of my research is utilizing biomass\,\nphoto/b
 io/electro-catalysts\, and cell factories to design and\nfabricate renewab
 le and sustainable bioproducts and systems\, via\nbioinspired routes\, for
  Energy\, Environmental\, and Biomedical\napplication. These hybrid techno
 logy approaches provide potential\nroute to economically viable energy pro
 duction (hydrogen + biofuels) +\nbiomass CO2 captured negative emission te
 chnologies (NET)\n(biomaterials + biochemicals)\, thus are clearly an impo
 rtant early\nstep in the complete decarbonization of our society. In this\
 npresentation\, I will introduce our new technology platform of using\npho
 tocatalysis and photo/electro-bio hybrid system for biomass\nvalorization.
  I will also talk about our recent progress on design and\nfabrication of 
 cellulose based materials with genetically engineered\nproteins for biomed
 ical application
