Event topics:
Electromagnetic Radiation, the Principle Behind Everyday Communication Devices
Our cellphones, wifi routers, cars, airplanes, and ships emit hundreds of thousands of electromagnetic radiation per hour, but none of them are harmful to our bodies. These types of radiation used in communication systems are often longer than visible light and are less powerful than, say, X-rays. These long-wavelength radiations laid the foundation for our modern communication system, from wireless telegraphy to radar missile defense, from cellular to satellite, and from the internet to the garage door opener. We will explore the history and progress we have made and the challenges we will be facing in the telecommunications sector.
About the speaker:
Frank has recently earned his Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, specializing in Applied Electromagnetics at UCSD. He has worked on ship-to-ship communication, radar systems, and is now working on phased array systems across various applications.
How to Find and Analyze the Next Blockbuster Drug
Development of new pharmaceutical drugs is a complex process involving not only manual labor and ingenuity but also the latest advancements in technology. Companies must determine how a drug can enter the body, how it distributes, how it works in the patient, and finally how it is eliminated from the body. With one final component you may find a new effective drug: funding!
About the Speaker
Wayne Duncan holds a PhD in Bio-organic Chemistry with a dissertation elucidating the mechanism of action of the co-enzyme, vitamin B6. He spent 33 years with the Hewlett Packard/Agilent Company as Application Chemist followed by Product Manager for Chemical Analysis International.
Every Bite is a Water Story: The Hidden Water Networks Behind Our Food
This talk explores the hidden networks of rivers, groundwater, infrastructure, and people that make modern food systems possible. Follow the journey of water from watershed to farm to plate and discover the surprising complexity behind the meals we eat.
About the Speaker
Dr. Wes Henson is an Agricultural and Biological Engineer who studies one of the biggest questions facing the planet: how to keep growing food when fresh water is running out. Raised in the deserts of Nevada, he now works with farmers, landowners, and governments across the country to understand how water and agriculture can survive an uncertain future.
