Webinar on Canadian Nuclear Laboratories' Cyber Security Mission

CNL is actively working toward the development of a nuclear industrial control cyber intrusion detection and mitigation system for protection of critical state-of-the-art infrastructure. Join one of CNL's Cyber Security Research Scientist, Alex Amos, and a guest interviewer from the University of Guelph, Keerthana Madhavan as we discuss some of the cutting-edge work we are undertaking to protect global nuclear infrastructure.

What is Water Activity and Why Should We Care About It?

Water activity is all about energy.  It is a thermodynamic principle that can provide valuable information on the stability of a food product; from microbial spoilage, lipid oxidation, and caking and clumping to shelf life and packaging determination. But water activity also has uses beyond food. Please join us in discovering why and how to measure water activity, discuss specific food applications, and then go beyond the world of food to investigate novel applications like hydrate formation, building materials, and metal-organic frameworks.

The Walrus Talks Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is already part of our lives. It’s built into the operating systems in our phones, it’s the algorithms that define our social media and search feeds, and it detects fraudulent withdrawals from our bank accounts. But the possibilities of rapid technological expansion are causing many discussions.

Physics Department Seminar - The Impact Centre: from fundamental science to societal impact

A deep understanding of the fundamental operation of our world ought to enable us to do good and make our live better – this is what attracted me to scientific studies and discovery. In this talk I will illustrate how deep scientific understanding can lead to impact by examples of work done in my lab in the areas of nanomaterials, surface chemistry and diagnostic devices. I founded the Impact Centre to enable the movement of scientific discovery to societal impact, and I mentored over 140 science-based startups over 10 years, some of which are now quite successful.
