Research Talk: Developing catalysts and processes for the sustainable production of fuels and chemicals
Speaker: Thomas F. Jaramillo, Associate Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering, Stanford University
January 14 at 1:00 pm

In this talk Prof. Jaramillo will discuss new processes that employ renewable resources (e.g. wind and solar) to power the production of important fuels and chemicals in a sustainable manner. This effort is largely motivated by the dropping costs of renewable electricity, the growing penetration of renewables into energy markets, and the need for storing variable electricity. Central to this theme is an effort to develop catalyst materials and associated processes. Specific examples include the production of hydrogen (H2),1,2 carbon-based products (e.g. hydrocarbons, alcohols),3-5 and ammonia (NH3) fertilizer.6,7
The development of catalysts with appropriate properties can serve as the basis of new, renewable pathways to produce the large-scale fuels and chemicals that could play a major role in reaching sustainability goals for the globe.
CARTE/CHE Joint Seminar: Data and Decision Sciences to Support Health System Planning in Ontario
Speaker: Dr. Saba Vahid, Advanced Analytics Team at Ontario Health – Cancer Care Ontario

Information technology solutions that have been deployed across the Ontario health system have enabled collection of large amounts of clinical and administrative data. These data can be leveraged to conduct analytics that support health system planning. Through examples of real-world descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics projects, we discuss how data science is helping inform policy and planning in healthcare and what challenges still exist in the implementation. We also discuss what skill sets could best prepare students to play an active role in this field.
