Distinguished Lecturer Dr. Federico Rosei, Director of Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique, Énergie, Matériaux et Télécommunications, Université du Québec will present “Energy and Society: What Type of Energy for the Future of Humanity?” Dr. Federico has held the UNESCO Chair in Materials and Technologies for Energy Conversion, Saving and Storage since 2014. Dr. Rosei’s research interests focus on the properties of nanostructured materials, and on how to control their size, shape, composition, stability, and positioning when grown on suitable substrates. He has extensive experience in fabricating, processing, and characterizing inorganic, organic, and biocompatible nanomaterials. He has published over 170 articles in prestigious international journals. . He received MSc and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Rome “La Sapienza” in 1996 and 2001, respectively. His research has been supported by multiple funding sources from the Province of Quebec, the Federal Government of Canada as well as international agencies, for a total in excess of M$ 16. He has worked in partnership with over twenty Canadian R&D companies. He is the co-inventor of three patents and has published over 270 articles.

Spring 2021 Seminar “Mediating individual variation in Pavlovian conditioned responses”

 Spring 2021 Seminar  “Mediating individual variation in Pavlovian conditioned responses”

• Monday, April 14, 2021 4:00 pm 
• Dr. Joshua Haight, Assistant Professor of Psychology

• “Mediating individual variation in Pavlovian conditioned responses”

• Dr. Joshua Haight has been an Assistant Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Neuroscience, Quinnipiac University since August 2019. Prior to that, he was a Postdoctoral Associate in the Addy Lab, Department of Psychiatry, Yale University. He graduated from the University of Michigan with a PhD in Neuroscience. He has studied extensively the role of the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus in mediating individual variation in conditioned responses. He has published a book chapter and nine articles in such prestigious journals as Behavioral Brain Research, Neuropsychopharmacology, Neuroscience, and PLosOne. His current research continues with examining the role of the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) in motivated behaviors, specifically in response to reward-paired cues.

“Urban Tree Health Care” April 7, 2021 10:00 am

 “Urban Tree Health Care”

by Dr. Susanna Kerio, Assistant Scientist II, CT Agricultural Experiment Station

April 7, 2021 10:00 am  

Dr. Susanna Keriö is a forest pathologist and a forest ecologist with expertise in disease resistance of trees to fungal pathogens, and the molecular and genetic factors associated with tree-fungus interaction and tree stress responses. Dr. Keriö’s doctorate research at the University of Helsinki focused on the transcriptional and chemical defense responses of Norway spruce and Scots pine to the Heterobasidion root rot pathogens. In her postdoctorate at the Oregon State University, Dr. Keriö’s research aimed at identifying genetic variation in Populus trichocarpa associated with resistance to the Septoria leaf spot and stem canker pathogen Sphaerulina musiva. 

Dr. Keriö’s current research in CAES aims at applying the information of molecular, chemical, and cellular stress signatures to develop management strategies to reduce tree stress and to support tree health in urban environments. Dr. Keriö’s current projects include: ecophysiological and molecular markers associated with tree stress, role of metallic nanoparticles in tree-fungal interactions and potential applications in urban tree care, and tissue culture and somatic embryogenesis techniques in American chestnut and other hardwood tree species.
