On January 18th, 2021, @ 17:30, Kiran Vaddi will present this virtually. Sign up at https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/250165 .

“Temporal signals emerge in material science from both experiments and computer simulations to understand a physical phenomenon. For example, it is often desirable to collect responses of materials for a particular loading that changes over time to elicit steady-state or equilibrium behavior. A characteristic signal is collected for each material of interest and analyzed to extract scientific knowledge about the material. In this talk, we will be discussing a particular characterization technique called cyclic voltammetry (CV) that characterizes a material in an electrochemical environment such as a battery cell. CV experiment involves sweeping over a time-varying voltage load applied to the electro-chemical cell and collecting current output as a temporal response. CV is a critical tool in characterizing and understanding behavior of potential battery materials for clean and efficient energy storage. “

Kiran is a PhD candidate at the department of Materials Design and Innovation at the University at Buffalo. He obtained his bachelors and master from Indian Institute of Technology Madras in mechanical engineering.

We have a great program lined up for the Joint Chapters Meeting. Be sure to register at https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/220441 before noon on 10/27.

The Rochester Section PACE and TEMS Chapter and RocAgile are jointly sponsoring an on-line meeting on Negotiating Conflict with Emotional Intelligence. To sign up, click to https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/226198

Research continues to show that not only is emotional intelligence (EI) a greater predictor of success than intellectual intelligence (IQ,) it also leads to a happier, healthier life. While emotions can contribute to challenges, with EI, they become resources to fuel collaboration, resolve conflict and enhance relationships. The best part is, EI is learnable! This workshop will combine an interactive presentation with an individual and peer to peer activity. Participants will have the opportunity to view a conflict situation through the lens of
Emotional Intelligence and work with a partner to give and receive feedback.
