    The City of Toronto holds public consultations as one way to engage residents in the life of their city. We invite you to get involved. University of Toronto Scarborough Campus (UTSC) Secondary Plan You are invited to participate in a Public Open House and Community Consultation meeting where you can learn more about the University of Toronto's application for a new Secondary Plan for the campus. This meeting will give you an opportunity to ask questions and share your comments. Details are as follows: Date: Thursday January 25, 2018 Time: 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Place: University of Toronto Scarborough Campus, 1265 Military Trail Humanities Wing, Room HW 216 The University of Toronto Scarborough has filed an Official Plan Amendment application to establish a new Secondary Plan for the future growth of the campus. With a student population of just over 12,000, UTSC is a mid-sized university in the heart of Scarborough. Its location in the eastern GTA affords it a critical and strategic opportunity for growth to meet increasing academic demand in the area. The UTSC Secondary Plan is being developed upon the foundation of the University's Master Plan, which serves as a blueprint for a vibrant campus that will thrive for many years to come. The intent of the Secondary Plan is to further develop a vision and planning framework to guide future development of the UTSC campus. It will bridge the gap between key objectives of the Master Plan and official municipal policy in order to strengthen the long-term vision and academic mission of the university.

My current projects utilize an optogenetic approach to study the roles of D1 and D2 receptor-expressing neuronal populations in the nucleus accumbens and central amygdala in regulating incentive ‘wanting’ towards both reward stimuli and stimuli that do not necessarily elicit a positive hedonic experience. My research further seeks to understand how these ‘wanting’ systems may be involved in maladaptive states such as drug addiction.

It attracts people and investment due to its mixture of land uses, transit, and vibrant urban environment.
