IEEE Black History Month collaborates with this invitation to a Live Event by: AT&T The NETwork NJ/NY Black History Month Program with Distinguished Innovators, Educators, and Entrepreneurs with AT&T Bell Labs Alumni Victor Lawrence & David Tarver to discuss their innovations and vision for the future. David Tarver currently serves as a lecturer in the University of Michigan College of Engineering Center for Entrepreneurship. He is also founder and board president of the Urban Entrepreneurship Initiative. His incredible entrepreneurial journey includes success in corporate R&D AT&T Bell Labs, tehcnology entrepreneurship, and community service. David holds BA and MS degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan. Dr Victor Lawrence, a National Inventors Hall of Fame (NIHF) Inductee is a leading example of this dedication. Throughout his career at AT&T Bell Labs, Dr Lawrence has advanced signal processing in communications. His work has improved transmission for the modern internet and has made high-speed connections more available. Dr Lawrence attended the Imperial College of Science and Technology at the University of London where he earned his bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degrees in electrical engineering. 27 February 2024 Tuesday 12:30PM - 1:30PM Location: AT&T Labs 200 S Laurel Ave Middletown, New Jersey Multipurpose Room A2-7y06 and via MS Teams Light refreshments will be served.

Dr. Ong Chi Wei is currently a lecturer with the School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Biotechnology at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. He received his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the National University of Singapore in 2019, with a focus on developing innovative medical devices for treating aortic aneurysms. He worked as a CFD engineer at Seemode Ptd Ltd, sponsored by SGinnovate after his PhD study. Following this, he pursued post-doctoral training at the NUS Cardiovascular Biomechanics and Ultrasound Laboratory, where he conducted research on the development of computational models for fetal heart modeling. Later, he joined the A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing as a scientist from December 2021 to May 2023 before joining NTU. Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/405459

Loderay Bracero and Jennifer Castillo will discuss the Modular kits application in Puerto Rico with the IEEE MOVE International Program. Puerto Rico is the first MOVE location to use the modular kits in a disaster response & recovery operation with the Red Cross. You will hear how it started, the steps taken, and the phases followed to create, modify, and apply the Modular Kits design in Puerto Rico. Join us to discuss the MOVE Modular kit design, lessons learned, and how to replicate this approach in other IEEE MOVE locations. Co-sponsored by: IEEE-USA MOVE Program Speaker(s): Loderay Bracero Marrero , Jenifer Castillo Rodríguez Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/406213
