DESCRIPTION:Special Bioresource Engineering seminar with Jonathan Maisonneu
 ve\, PhD\, Department of Mechanical Engineering\, Oakland University. Ever
 yone is welcome to attend.\n\nIndoor agriculture opens up many possibiliti
 es for greater plant yields to feed a growing population\, greater food se
 curity in the face of climate uncertainty\, and greater food freshness for
  local communities. These controlled plant environments typically require 
 intensive amounts of energy for HVAC and lighting\, fertilizer for plant n
 utrition\, and water for irrigation. This presentation will introduce tech
 nologies and methods that support sustainable energy\, water\, and nutrien
 t use for indoor farms operating in the context of local urban food hubs. 
 Innovations include new systems for generating clean water and power by fe
 rtilizer osmosis\, novel fertilizer-based liquid desiccants for dehumidifi
 cation\, and improved energy recovery ventilation processes.\n\nABOUT THE 
 SPEAKER\n\nDr. Jonathan Maisonneuve is currently an Assistant Professor in
  the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Oakland University (Rochester
 \, MI\, USA). He obtained his PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from Co
 ncordia University (Montreal\, QC\, Canada). Prior to that he obtained his
  MEng. degree in Building Engineering also from Concordia University\, and
  his BSc degree in Environment from McGill University. His research intere
 sts are in the area of membrane processes for sustainable food\, energy\, 
 and water systems.\n
