Description:

New Developments in Ni-Catalyzed Transnitrilation

Accessing medicinally relevant small molecules in a more efficient and/or safer manner continues to drive important discoveries in synthetic organic chemistry. My group is particularly interested in the development of new Ni-catalyzed processes to address these challenges and the use of readily available building blocks to access complex small molecules.

The preparation of nitrile-containing organic molecules has garnered considerable attention from the community for over a century due to their prevalence in pharmaceuticals and their versatility as synthetic intermediates. In this field, the use of toxic cyanide salts (and their equivalents) or HCN as a source of nitrile to forge C–CN bonds remains a problem.  To address this challenge, my group is developing new synthetic methods that use inexpensive and less toxic nitrile-transfer reagents for the synthesis of these compounds. We have demonstrated that valuable nitrile-containing building blocks can be prepared based on the concept of nitrile-transfer (or “transnitrilation”).1,2 This presentation will highlight our contributions to this field, with a particular focus on the development of Ni-catalyzed methods for the synthesis of nitriles.2

Ingenuity Labs Presents: Jack Caldwell, Automation and the New Frontier: How Canada's Largest Space Developer is Creati

When:
Friday, January 19, 2024
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Where:
Mitchell Hall
Room: 395
Find on Campus Map
Description:

Round two in the race to the Moon has begun. Large investments have been dedicated to
developing a permanent Lunar output as a part of the Artemis program. Canadian companies
are positioning themselves to be fundamental contributors to this economy. In particular,
MDA, Canada's largest space company, is developing robotic solutions to support space
infrastructure and the burgeoning economy therein.

This talk will describe some of the challenges faced and technologies in development to meet
the extreme needs of deep space exploration. First, I will discuss the AI-enabled nextgeneration
Canadarm, which is designed for autonomous operations orbiting around the moon
on the lunar Gateway station, and the unique constraints and considerations of the cislunar
environment. Then, I will consider the challenge of generating energy on the Lunar surface,
with a sneak peak of an early concept design. At the end of this talk, you will walk away with
a high-level understanding of some of the technical challenges faced in space robotics and the
exciting prospects that lie ahead.

Ingenuity Labs Presents: Hesham ElSawy, Communications, Computing, and Security for the 6G Era & Beyond

Ingenuity Labs Presents: Hesham ElSawy, Communications, Computing, and Security for the 6G Era & Beyond

When:
Monday, January 29, 2024
1:30 PM – 2:30 PM
Where:
Mitchell Hall
Room: 395
Find on Campus Map
Description:

In the 6G era, wireless connectivity is foreseen to be global, ubiquitous, and
massive. In addition to transforming every object in our life to an intelligent and
connected device, the proliferating 6G Internet of Everything (IoE) use cases (e.g., digital
twins, ubiquitous monitoring, precision agriculture, smart cities, wearable devices, etc.)
will bring massive numbers of heterogenous wireless devices to the already congested
spectrum. Many of the devices will utilize servers at the network edge or at the cloud to
carry out machine learning and computationally complex tasks. Most of the devices will
be deployed by consumers who are unaware of the underlying security risks. Such new
features call for novel and innovative techniques that jointly account for the
communications, computing, and security aspects of 6G. In this context, this talk will
discuss the challenges of the 6G era and will motivate a systematic and rigorous
mathematical approach to address them. To this end, several research directions will be
highlighted.
