Girls Make STEM with Heart
IEEE Buenaventura STEM Event for Middle School
Girls
10:00 AM to 2:30 PM
Thousand Oaks
* FULL *
Girls Make STEM with Heart, the IEEE Buenaventura STEM event
for middle school girls, will be on Saturday, October 9 at La Reina High
School and Middle School in Thousand Oaks. Girls in middle school will become
scientists and engineers for a day. They will explore how science,
technology, engineering and math can help sustain our planet.
Students can choose from workshops on chemistry,
circuits, ham radio, light, robotics, solar energy, or math and numbers; with
a focus on how these technologies can be used sustainably.
Parents can attend a concurrent program with a mix of
hands on experiences that can be duplicated at home, and will discover the
future that awaits their daughters in Science, Technology, Engineering and
Math (STEM). The parents program will conclude with a visit to the classrooms
to see what the students have learned.
Girls can participate without parents attending. All
students will be under the supervision of mentors.
This event is organized by the IEEE Buenaventura Section.
The event is supported by women and men in STEM professions and from the IEEE
Foundation. Event is free of charge, but capacity is limited. Lunch will be
provided.
If you have any questions
please contact stem2021@ieee-bv.org.
Please Note
Doors open at 9:30 AM.
Masks are required.

Quantitative Strategic Decision Making
7:00 PM PDT
Online
Speaker: Hamed Khalkhali
Register at www.ieee-bv.org/meet/2021-10-aes
Overview
At any position at work or situation in life, we are
expected to make decisions and not just any decisions, but the right ones.
How can we achieve that, given our psychological limitations? What are our
limitations and how we can overcome them to make the right choices? To equip
ourselves properly, we need a toolbox of mathematical models and
psychological self-awareness. This is the topic of the exploration in this
discussion.
About the Speaker
Hamed Khalkhali has 30 years of industrial
experiences in automotive and aerospace industry, where he held various
engineering, managerial and executive leadership positions. He is an IEEE
Senior Member, and an adjunct faculty at Cal Poly Pomona. He has earned a
B.S. from Sharif University of Technology in Tehran-Iran, a M.S. from Wright
State University in Dayton-OH, and a Ph.D. from University of Michigan in Ann
Arbor-MI in Mechanical Engineering. He has obtained his MBA from CLU Focused
in Quantitative Decision Making.

Life at a Startup - Fascinating Challenges and Opportunities
6:00 PM PDT
Online
Speaker: Daniel Renner
Register at www.ieee-bv.org/meet/2021-10-pho
Daniel Renner grew up in the wilderness of Chilean Patagonia,
which is one of the sources of his quest for adventure and for exploring new
areas. In his early twenties he went to the University of Cambridge in
England to do a Ph.D. in Opto-Electronics, a new area at the time. Now,
decades later, he has lived through the whole range of experiences that
relate to the development, manufacturing and commercialization of complex
photonic devices and systems used in communication, sensor and industrial
applications. His experience spans both technical and business aspects of
photonic products. This experience has included both large and small
companies, which gives him a reasonable vantage point to comment on the ups
and downs of life in a photonics startup.
He is currently Chief Business Development Officer at Freedom
Photonics in Santa Barbara, CA.

Connecting Space Assets to the Internet: Challenges and Solutions
5:00 PM PDT
Online
Speaker: Mohammed Atiquzzaman

Overview
Data communications between Earth and spacecrafts, such as
satellites, have traditionally been carried out through dedicated links.
Shared links using Internet Protocol-based communication offers a number of
advantages over dedicated links. The movement of spacecrafts however gives
rise to mobility management issues.
This talk will discuss various mobility management solutions
for extending the Internet connection to spacecrafts. The talk with
provide an overview of the network layer based solution being developed
by the Internet Engineering Task Force and compare with the transport layer
based solution that have been developed at University of Oklahoma in
conjunction with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Network
in motion is an extension of the host mobility protocols for managing the
mobility of networks which are in motion, such as those in airplanes and
trains. The application of networks in motion will be illustrated for both
terrestrial and space environment.
About the Speaker
Mohammed Atiquzzaman obtained his M.S. and Ph.D. in
Electrical Engineering and Electronics from the University of Manchester (UK)
in 1984 and 1987, respectively. He currently holds the Edith J Kinney
Gaylord Presidential professorship in the School of Computer Science at the University
of Oklahoma.
Dr. Atiquzzaman is the Editor-in-Chief of Journal of
Networks and Computer Applications, the founding Editor-in-Chief of Vehicular
Communications, and serves/served on the editorial boards of many journals
including IEEE Communications Magazine, Real Time Imaging Journal,
International Journal of Communication Networks and Distributed Systems and

Tournament on Sunday, November 21. There will be 24 teams of young
robot enthusiasts that will compete for a chance to go to the regional
tournament. The IEEE has been generous in its support over many years both
financially and in providing volunteers. It is a lot of fun and you will be
greatly impressed with what these young people accomplish and their
enthusiasm.
If you are available to volunteer from 8 AM 4 PM we can
definitely use you in a variety of rolls from assisting judges, monitoring
the games, and other jobs. If you cannot help on Sunday we will also need
some volunteers on Saturday, November 20 from 3 PM 6 PM to help set up the
school.
