Hart House, Great Hall
7 Hart House Cir
Join MIE in celebrating our graduate students, as they share their innovative research through poster and oral presentations. There will also be an opportunity to meet with representatives, and U of T graduates, from Revolve Surgical who will be onsite.
For 2024, we will host a keynote presentation by Professor Amy Marconnet. At Purdue University, Professor Marconnet has developed an interdisciplinary research program to evaluate, understand, and control the physical mechanisms governing the multi-functional properties of materials, machines, and systems.
The event will conclude with awards given for the top presentations during an evening reception. Refreshments will be provided. Alumni, faculty, staff, industry contacts and students are invited to peruse the exhibition of posters the students’ work. Students will be on hand to speak about their research. Select students will also make oral presentations on their work.
