The Lassonde School of Engineering at York University highlighted faculty and student research on May 1, when the school hosted its second annual Research Day.<\/p>\n

The micro-conference showcased innovative research projects across a range of disciplines at Lassonde, including artificial intelligence (AI) application, sustainability, infrastructure and data management, space exploration and smart grid design.<\/p>\n

\"\"Faculty members and graduate students submitted scientific abstracts, presenting to more than 250 attendees from industry, academia and government partners over the course of the day.<\/p>\n

Lassonde Research Day was held in collaboration with the Autonomous Vehicle Innovation Network<\/a> (AVIN), with a variety of projects highlighting autonomous, connectivity and transportation-related research. Guests also had the opportunity to attend a focus session hosted by the Regional AVIN AI hub and OCE to learn more about the opportunities and challenges in the field of autonomous vehicles.<\/p>\n

The day opened with a presentation by Professor James Elder<\/a>, York University\u2019s Research Chair in Human and Computer Vision, during which he discussed university-industry collaborations in intelligent systems research, highlighting the importance of research collaborations with industry and community partners to the success of large-scale research projects.<\/p>\n

Elder\u2019s research, in collaboration with such partners as ESRI<\/a> and TransPlan<\/a>, is advancing the field of mobility and transportation through the innovative network for Intelligent Systems for Sustainable Urban Mobility<\/a> (ISSUM) project. This project is just one of the many examples Lassonde has of interdisciplinary research working to solve real-world problems.<\/p>\n

In addition to keynotes, focus sessions and research presentations, guests had the option to attend lab tours in seven laboratories at Lassondde, including the newly opened Autonomous Systems Lab<\/a>, featuring an area for drone operation. Three electrical engineering labs were included in the tour as well as the High Bay Structures Lab<\/a>, the Human & Computer Vision Lab<\/a> and the Innovative Design & Engineering Analysis (IDEA) Lab<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"The day concluded with the Best Poster Award going to \"Development of Novel Resilient Structural Systems,\" presented by civil engineering Professor Dan Palermo<\/a> and his research team: Mena Morcos, Adrien Sparling, Michael Soto and Marina Maciel. Their research aims to develop materials that can withstand wear and tear as well as disasters, while leaving a smaller environmental footprint and costing less. The team won for its creativity in presenting its research using visually appealing poster boards complete with to-scale models and images illustrating their work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
