Mr. Jonathan Lavigne (PhD Candidate in Forest Sciences) will present on his thesis "Industrial Residuals in Land Reclamation: Enhancing Soil Recovery and Ecological Function in Disturbed Soils". The presentation and public Q/A will begin at 9 a.m. and all are welcome.
October 2 & 3, 2025, The Centre for Education and Research on Aging & Health (CERAH) will hold its first ever centre-wide conference at The Superior Inn Hotel & Conference Centre in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The theme for the 2025 CERAH conference is: Aging Through the Life Cycle.
This 2-day conference will bring together specialists, clinicians, researchers, students, and community members to share knowledge and collaborate across four key areas: Aging in Place, Dementia and Seniors’ Mental Health, Indigenous Peoples’ Aging and Health, and Palliative Care.
Join us for brilliant keynotes, thought-provoking concurrent sessions, engaging poster presentations, and dynamic exhibitors! Together, we will exchange ideas that support well-being throughout every stage of life. Whether you are a healthcare provider, researcher, student, or community member, “Aging Through the Life Cycle” promises to offer valuable opportunities to connect, learn, and contribute to a future of inclusive, equitable and innovative care.

The Lakehead Town & Gown brings Orillia faculty together with members of the surrounding community. Meetings occur monthly to discuss topics of broad interest—such as AI, education, loneliness, and citizenship—and have easy but engaged conversation. The group is co-run by Ryan McVeigh, Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies, and Anderson Charters, retired publisher and champion of Lakehead’s Orillia campus.
The next session will occur on Friday, April 4th, from 12–2:30 in OA 2005. The topic for discussion is the future of Canada.
The Biotechnology PhD candidate, Behrooz Afra will present his dissertation research on Monday, April 7 at 1 pm on zoom.
Thesis Title:
Flow Control of Low-Reynolds Number Airfoils Using Morphing Surface
Committee Members:
Dr. Ali Tarokh (supervisor),
Dr. Ahmed Elshaer
Dr. Basel Ismail
Dr. Alexandra Komrakova (external)
Dr. Abed Alkhateeb (chair)
Our research focused on improving the aerodynamic performance of airfoils by using surface morphing techniques. We studied how traveling waves applied to the surface of an airfoil can help control flow separation and improve lift in both laminar and turbulent conditions. The results provide insights into advanced flow control strategies that could enhance the efficiency of aircraft and wind turbine blades.
Everyone is welcome
Please contact Brenda Magajna at phd.ses@lakeheadu.ca for more information or the zoom link.
