The Energy Engineering Seminar Series

The Energy Engineering Seminar Series, Spring Semester, 2023
Profs. Lindsay Anderson, David Hammer and Max Zhang
Thursdays at 12:25 – 1:15 pm (Olin 165)
BEE5469, CHEME5880. ECE5880, MAE5469

Are you interested in energy-related topics, such as when (if ever) we might run out of oil, whether fuel cells & energy storage batteries are nearing economic viability, the security and reliability of the power grid, how we might be producing electricity 50 years from now, and what the environmental consequences of energy use are, including impacts on climate? Then consider spending one hour per week during Spring 2023 listening to talks on these and other energy-related subjects at the Energy Engineering Seminar Series. Seminar speakers will be distinguished practicing engineers and executives from industry, other universities and government, as well as Cornell faculty members from several departments.

Attached is a partial list of the speakers for the seminar series in Spring 2023. Students wishing to attend most or all of the weekly Energy Seminars are encouraged to preregister for BEE5469/CHEME5880/ECE5880/MAE5469, 1 credit, S/U (or letter grade). You will be asked to attend at least 9 seminars and turn in 9 (13) brief summaries to receive a grade of S (letter grade of A). Attendance and grading policies will be discussed in more detail during the first seminar on January 26th.

Talk with Cornell MechE Alum, Tricia Hevers, this Thursday!

Tricia Hevers is visiting campus and will be chatting about her experience in the Upson Lounge from 5-6pm on Thursday, 11/7/19. Please take a moment to stop in and talk with her about life after Cornell. There will be pizza!

Trish Hevers is a Space Systems Engineer for L3Harris Technologies based in Washington DC.Trish got her BS (’11) and MEng (’12) degrees at Cornell.  While at Cornell, she was a member of the CUSAT (Cornell University Satellite) team for three years serving as a technical lead and Program Manager. Trish also co-oped at Sikorsky Aircraft working in the dynamics and acoustics area. After graduation she spent the first 5 years at Boeing’s Satellite Development Center in Los Angeles. At Boeing she worked in a variety of roles, including: attitude control systems, mission operations, and new business development.  She is currently working at L3Harris Technologies in Washington, D.C. as a Space Systems Engineer.

She’s offered to discuss how her experiences at Cornell have shaped her professional development, life after graduation, the job search process, and offer tips on resume writing and interviewing! Past year’s students found her very helpful so I encourage you to talk to her!
