SUMMARY:2024 CIE Mentoring Circle
DESCRIPTION:2024 CIE Mentoring Circle\n***Now accepting applications. Register HERE!***\n(Deadline : June 30\, 2024)\n“Man is the only animal that can learn from history and from the experiences of others. Mentoring groups are one of the most efficient and highest forms of this learning and developing\,” says Mark Carpenter\, Sr. Vice President of Transmission and Distribution Operations at Oncor\, one of the architects and driving forces of CIE’s mentoring circle program. “CIE’s mentoring circle focuses on talent development\, the most important element in any organization\,” states Claire Jung\, Engineering Director in Analog Power Products at Texas Instruments. With the support of the CIE leaders including our founder-Dr. Faa-Ching Wang\, the mentoring circle started many years ago. \nMany agree with them\, as dozens of volunteers join this annual program every year\, aiming to learn from experienced community leaders. They meet in small groups\, discuss topics about the workplace or in everyday life\, and practice their leadership skills. Each group is led by one or two mentors\, follows a self-paced curriculum\, and meets online for two to three hours every two months. \nProgram mentees eagerly praise the benefits of this mentoring circle. “This is one thing that saves you time in the long run\,” says Will Jordan\, a supervisor at Oncor. “By hanging out with excellent people in CIE\, I could be a better person and a better leader myself!” says Minkai Wu\, a manager at Capital One. “I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to become a better leader\,” says Yanping Chen\, Vice President as Quantitative Strategist at Goldman Sachs. “In the CIE mentoring groups\, all who participate—including the group leaders—grow and develop by learning from the perspectives and experiences of others. I urge you to take this opportunity and to later lead others in similar endeavors\,” says Mr. Carpenter. “You’ll be glad you did.”

SUMMARY:2023 CIE Mentoring Circle
DESCRIPTION:2023 CIE Mentoring Circle\n***Now accepting applications. Register HERE!***\n(Deadline : May 15\, 2023)\n“Man is the only animal that can learn from history and from the experiences of others. Mentoring groups are one of the most efficient and highest forms of this learning and developing\,” says Mark Carpenter\, Sr. Vice President of Transmission and Distribution Operations at Oncor\, one of the architects and driving forces of CIE’s mentoring circle program. “CIE’s mentoring circle focuses on talent development\, the most important element in any organization\,” states Claire Jung\, Engineering Director in Analog Power Products at Texas Instruments. With the support of the CIE leaders including our founder-Dr. Faa-Ching Wang\, the mentoring circle started many years ago. \nMany agree with them\, as dozens of volunteers join this annual program every year\, aiming to learn from experienced community leaders. They meet in small groups\, discuss topics about the workplace or in everyday life\, and practice their leadership skills. Each group is led by one or two mentors\, follows a self-paced curriculum\, and meets online for two to three hours every two months. \nProgram mentees eagerly praise the benefits of this mentoring circle. “This is one thing that saves you time in the long run\,” says Will Jordan\, a supervisor at Oncor. “By hanging out with excellent people in CIE\, I could be a better person and a better leader myself!” says Minkai Wu\, a manager at Capital One. “I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to become a better leader\,” says Yanping Chen\, Vice President as Quantitative Strategist at Goldman Sachs. “In the CIE mentoring groups\, all who participate—including the group leaders—grow and develop by learning from the perspectives and experiences of others. I urge you to take this opportunity and to later lead others in similar endeavors\,” says Mr. Carpenter. “You’ll be glad you did.”

SUMMARY:ONLINE: 2021 CIE/USA-DFW Technical Seminar
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION \n\nTechnical Seminar (9/18) (Closed)\n\nTechnology Fusion: Thriving in a Post-Pandemic World\nThanks our speakers–Alec Zhang\, Changzhi Li and David Lu for the wonderful presentations. They are very informative topics about the current progress on cancer treatment and the prospect for the next 20 years; how the modern radar technology changes our life in the future; the history of networking and the future 5G revolution. \n \n \n\n\nTechnical Symposium Speaker Profiles:\n\n\n\nAlec Zhang\, Professor\, Department of Physiology\, UT Southwestern Medical Center\n\n\n\n \nSpeech Title: Cancer Immunotherapy\, a Promising New Cancer Treatment\nSpeech Abstract: Our immune system\, consisting of numerous types of immune cells\, constantly recognizes and eliminates continuously arising newly mutated cells\, preventing us from getting cancer. Nevertheless\, this immune surveillance can be overcome by cancer. The cancer can also convert immune cells in the tumor environment from being anti-tumor to tumor-supportive. Fortunately\, the most recent progression of biomedical research has enabled us to develop novel cancer immunotherapies that serve as a new generation of therapy for cancer treatment. I will introduce three types of these immunotherapies: immune checkpoint blockade (represented by the PD-1 antibody therapy)\, CAR-T cells (currently only for blood cancers)\, and personalized cancer vaccine (still in clinical trials). I will also list examples of ongoing research that looks promising for the advancement of immunotherapy and discuss future perspectives. \n\nDr. Alec Zhang\, Morton H. Sanger Professorship in Oncology and Michael L. Rosenberg Scholar for Biomedical Research at UT Southwestern\, earned his B.S. from USTC and Ph.D. from UIUC. After postdoctoral training at MIT\, he established his lab at UT Southwestern in 2007. He is studying immune surface molecules and developing novel therapies for cancer treatment. He published >100 peer-reviewed articles\, and was a recipient of several awards\, including American Society of Hematology Junior Faculty Scholar Award and Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Scholar Award. Several antibodies targeting novel checkpoint proteins developed by his team are in pipeline for therapeutic development. \n  \nChangzhi Li\, Professor\, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, Texas Tech University \nSpeech Title: Modern Smart Radar for Health and Activity Sensing\nSpeech Abstract: Portable radar sensors have great potential to improve future healthcare\, security\, transportation\, and human-machine interface\, by remotely sensing various life activities with electromagnetic signals.

Application examples will be presented on non-contact human vital signs monitoring\, wireless human-computer interface\, continuous driving behavior recognition\, indoor user localization\, and activity classification. For smart radar sensors in the healthcare\, automotive\, IT industry\, and for smart living sectors of daily life\, measures to enhance their robustness against interference and security attacks will be discussed. Finally\, this talk will conclude with future industrial and academic R&D outlooks for smart radar sensors.\n\nChangzhi Li is a Professor and Whitacre Chair in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas Tech University. His research interests focus on microwave/millimeter-wave sensing for healthcare\, security\, energy efficiency\, and human-machine interface. He was a recipient of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Frederick Emmons Terman Award\, given to one professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering every year. He will be the Technical Program Chair for the 2022 IEEE Sensors Conference to be held in Dallas. \n\n  \nDavid Lu\, Vice President\, Network Systems & Automation\, AT&T Labs \nSpeech Title: Converged Network for Next Generation IoT\nSpeech Abstract: The rapid advancement in mobile and broadband technology has opened previously unimaginable new use cases. Technology advancements including the convergence of hardware and software\, physical and virtual devices\, open architecture\, industry based APIs\, ultrafast speeds with extremely low latency\, high capacity\, improved reliability and security\, and AI enabled sensors are rapidly changing the business landscape.   All of these bring forward unprecedented opportunities for entrepreneurship and new applications.This talk will focus on the evolutionary path of converged network technologies\, e.g.\, wireless broadband\, fiber broadband\, SDN\, and 5G\, in the past decade and the journey into the next decade that will unleash the power of innovation with extraordinary speed and scale.\n\nDavid Lu currently leads a global team of more than 2\,500 people responsible for the architecture\, development and engineering of AT&T’s next generation SDN (Software Defined Network) automation platform and open source (Linux Foundation ONAP) enabling AT&T’s network virtualization and target network systems transformation including PaaS & SaaS\, policy control & orchestration\, hyper-automation and AI/ML driven data analytics.
