Ryan Quint, PhD, PE, North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Online through Zoom RSVP for Dr. Quint's Lecture. Title: Ensuring Reliability, Resilience, and Security under Rapid Grid Transformation Abstract: The electricity sector is experiencing a profound transformation toward clean energy solutions and new technologies. Yet the grid is also faced with increasing challenges such as extreme weather, […]

Professor Donna Strickland, University of Waterloo Title: From Nonlinear Optics to High-Intensity Laser Physics Abstract: The laser increased the intensity of light that can be generated by orders of magnitude and thus brought about nonlinear optical interactions with matter. Chirped pulse amplification, also known as CPA, changed the intensity level by a few more orders of magnitude […]

Professor P.P. Vaidyanathan, California Institute of Technology Title: Srinivasa Ramanujan and Signal Processing Abstract: The great mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan introduced a summation in 1918, today called the Ramanujan-sum. For many years this summation was used by mathematicians to prove important results in number theory. In recent years, some researchers have found applications of this sum in digital […]

Professor Susan Lord, University of San Diego Title: Enhancing Learning and Inclusivity in Electrical Engineering Abstract: How can we educate students to be the most effective engineers when they graduate? What does it take to attract a broader range of students to electrical and computer engineering? What curricular efforts could support both of these goals? These are […]
