Bridging the Gap: The Role of Women in Neuroscience and Entrepreneurship hosted by Integrated Sciences and Mathematics (iSciM)
Date: Thursday 21st September 2023
Time: 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM
Venue: H-506

This talk will begin with the career journey of a Pakistani female neuroscientist in California highlighting academic and healthcare obstacles and successes. Additionally, it will also provide a brief introduction about neuroscience-based s*x differences that are clinically relevant as an example of developing expertise in one’s career. It will then introduce female entrepreneurship in health/MedTech and provide some guidance on how to develop and scale innovative ideas.

We will have onsite diagnostic devices for many diseases and food contaminants in the near or distant future. One of the promising directions to realize such diagnostic tools is optical sensors. Optical sensors offer various advantages, such as small footprints, low detection limits, analyte detection multiplexing, and compatibility with CMOS technology.

This talk will be geared towards the general engineering and sciences audience, where the speaker will go over the basic building blocks of optical sensors. He will provide examples of optical sensors, including our recent works toward developing viable sensors for detecting tuberculosis and milk contamination problems.

Digital technologies such as televisions, touch screen tablets, smartphones, and smart speakers are now frequently encountered and used by young children even before the age of one. These devices facilitate modern parents in their caregiving of young children due to the prevalence of these technologies in the home environment.

In this talk, the speaker will present an unconventional approach of studying use-contexts of these digital technologies by parents: Storytelling using an assets-based approach. She will discuss the implications of using this approach for fostering a safe space for research engagement in sensitive use-contexts. She will also share her reflections on the challenges and opportunities for studying parent-child computer interactions in Pakistan.

This talk will focus on the importance of synthetic data in machine learning (ML), how we can use them, what problems it solves for the ML community, what issues it comes with, and possible solutions to address them. We will also try to understand the need for synthetic data for the application of self-driving cars.

On November 8, 2022, a technical team comprising of eight members from 𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐎 visited Dhanani School of Science and Engineering at Habib University. The team was led by Dr. Uzair Ansari (Deputy Chief Manager).

A very informative introductory presentation was given by Engr. Muneeb Sheikh (General Manager). This was followed by an outdoor demonstration of SUPARCO's centimeter-level precise navigation technology 𝐑𝐓𝐊 and allied technologies. Habib University's EE and CE program students asked a number of questions from the presenters and took great interest in the functioning of Pak-Rahber's Navigation System and its multitude of applications.”

Transportation and electricity generation sectors are the primary contributors to the greenhouse emissions. Electric Vehicles (EVs) are considered as one of the most effective alternatives to the conventional internal combustion engines to alleviate the greenhouse emissions challenge. However, there are numerous challenges associated with the EVs and their adoption as alternate to the conventional vehicles. In this event, I shall be discussing the advantages and the challenges associated with the adoption of the EVs globally. I shall also discuss the challenges from the Pakistan's perspective.

Water challenges surround us, from farms to households. Given the rapid changes in climate, water scarcity is projected to increase in the coming decades. Technological interventions can potentially mitigate some of these water challenges. In this event, we will hear from two speakers who are working on designing technology based solutions to help improve water management in farms and in households across Pakistan.
