Super fun day at Science Rendezvous Kingston! Thanks to the amazing Lynda Colgan for another fantastic event. And thanks to NSERC President Alejandro Adem and MPP Ted Hsu for stopping by!
Very excited for the Ingenuity Labs Research Institute to be part of the new Connected Minds (CFREF) program: https://www.queensu.ca/gazette/stories/understanding-human-machine-connections. Very much looking forward to working with @GunnarBlohm and others at Queen's and York on some exciting research in the years to come!
Understanding human-machine connections

New funding from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund will provide York University and Queen’s with over $105 million to advance understanding of how technology is transforming society.

Congratulations to ELEC 49X #capstoneproject team of Amelia Maclatchy, Owen Hooper, and Megan Stanke at Queen's University for placing 2nd in the ECE Awards competition for their "Autonomous Building Guide" capstone project and the development of GEORGE (i.e., the #robot). This was a super-fun co-supervision with the wonderful Melissa Greeff! Best of luck to this amazing student team as they all pursue careers in #robotics #engineering and/or advanced technology upon graduation this spring.

This week we say farewell to our long-time colleague Dr. Heshan Fernando (https://www.linkedin.com/in/heshanfernando) who is moving on to a new position at FP Innovations in Montreal, QC. Heshan has been a mentor and friend to many of us at Queen's Engineering—and he will be sorely missed! Yet, I have a strong feeling that our paths will cross again ... All the best Heshan!

Kicked off the AI course with ChatGPT's version of what they'll learn.

About 3 / 200 in the course hadn't heard of the system before, and I'll be spending the semester trying to convince them they shouldn't just ChatGPT their way through the rest of their university degree (no way the assessments they see in their program will keep pace with what can be largely automated).

Wheeee!
