Overview This summer we are taking a break from technical talks and addressing one of the most challenging events that a modern industrial society has faced. SARS COVID-19 or popularly known Coronavirus has adversely effected majority of the human population of the world in 2020. Resources in various fields have been allocated to understand, control and eventually stop this pandemic. Analytics is one of the important tools used by the healthcare system and policy makers to understand control this pandemic. As individual victims of the pandemic we also rely analytics to assess the danger it poses on us and our loved ones. In this lecture I will present the history of pandemics. I will present the facts and statistics of the current and the past pandemics. This lecture is by no means a medical or a health presentation. About the Speaker Momin Quddus is a senior member of IEEE. He serves as an officer at IEEE Buenaventura Section. He has worked in Avionics, Wireless communication and Aerospace industries for over 30 years. He holds a patent on wireless antenna design. Momin received BSEE degree from University of Texas and MSEE degree from Florida Atlantic University. He is a PE. He is interested in analyzing topics in terms of economics and analytics. He enjoys playing tennis, field hockey and soccer. He coaches youth sport teams.  He volunteers at youth outreach events such as Science fair & Academic Decathlon.  Presented by: IEEE Buenaventura Section Microwave Theory and Techniques Society Chapter Flyer (PDF)

Webinars from IEEE-USA •  July 16, 5:00 PM PDT: Panel: Post-COVID-19 Outlook – Opportunities in the Shift In developing technology for the benefit of humanity, it is in times of massive shift that disruptions not only challenge the way we live, work, and thrive, but also create the space for nascent concepts to show their worth. We bring together a futurist, a government leader, and a behind-the-scenes enabler to give their perspective into the great potential that these shifts are providing for individuals, companies, and industries. Join us for a day of future casting in this live panel discussion as we are propel into the bright future that lies before us. •  July 30, 5:00 PM PDT: In-the-Moment Meditation We've all experienced it: Someone says something (good or bad) and you are emotionally impacted. How do you respond? How do you move forward? This webinar will discuss using "in-the-moment" meditations, and provide tips and tools for growing your communication skills. RePicture STEM Summer Resume-Builder Program Have your summer internships or other plans been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic? If so, you’re invited to participate in the RePicture STEM Summer Resume-Builder Program. RePicture.com is a virtual community where people can learn about STEM projects helping people across the world. The RePicture STEM Summer Resume-Builder Program involves researching projects in your field of interest and posting detailed write-ups about them on the RePicture website. This information will be available for the world to see and used by high school and university students nationwide to better understand STEM careers. You can also interview professionals in your field and share your story about your journey into STEM. Presented by: RePicture See the flyer for more information
