SUMMARY:Space and Global Health Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:The Space & Global Health Hackathon\, organized by the Geneva Digital Health Hub (gdhub) of the University of Geneva and the European Space Agency (ESA)\, which will take place on May 31st and June 1st\, 2024 at Campus Biotech in Geneva is still recruiting participants! \nThe hackathon follows the Geneva Digital Health Day (May 30) and takes place during the week of the World Health Assembly (WHA)\, reinforcing the city’s global health activities. \nWith 13 challenges\, the hackathon will explore the integration of space technology with global health\, covering topics from TB screening in remote areas to creating an open-access dermatology image dataset for AI research. Participants will gain invaluable networking opportunities with experts and mentors in space technology and global health\, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing. And of course\, there will be interesting prizes to win. \nRegistration is open on the sparkboard\, where more details about the challenges are available. Register before April 30th\, 2024 and choose a challenge to secure your spot within the team! \n			\n							More info & registration

SUMMARY:Product safety management in high-tech industry projects
DESCRIPTION:In the context of industrial project\, along with quality and industrialisation\, the product safety is essential to ensure a control over the project cost and schedule and guaranty the delivery of a product with the level of reliability expected. We propose to explain what a safety analysis is and why it is mandatory in any project implementation\, what the company and the product gain out of it. \nCatherine Suppo: with two master university graduations in applied physics and SW engineering\, she has worked for aeronautic projects at the beginning of her career to branch 19 years ago in aerospace projects in France\, UK\, Germany and Switzerland\, for Thales\, AIRBUS\, OHB and Clearspace. She has worked as SW engineer for on small launcher\, then for Scientific Lagrange point and Mercury explorer missions.\nShe is now specialised in Satellite system safety since 2013\, first as FDIR engineer\, then as FDIR lead and FDIR expert across her companies to support different projects. She supported as well actively the elaboration of the ESA FDIR SAVOIR handbook. She has worked on GEO TELECOM\, LEO Earth observation\, Deep space\, Rendez-vous and IOS missions. Her experience is spread over all satellite mission phases from proposal to LEOP.\nStéphane Haïssat is VP Production & Co-Founder of PANAPROD SNC\nStéphane is an Engineer in Electronics\, he started his career with XEMICS\, a spin-off of the CSEM at Neuchâtel.\nDuring thirteen years in the semiconductor area\, he worked for more than six years in the security for PayTV chipset within the Kudelski Group.\nWorking in the Aerospace industry since 2014\, delivering high-end avionics systems\, Stéphane successively lead the test\, industrialisation and production teams\, setting up new strategies in this high-demanding industry.\nIn 2023\, Stéphane co-created PANAPROD SNC\, a small entity providing consultancy services in Aerospace and Space domains.

SUMMARY:"Seminar Series on Engineering and Society" - Asad Madni
DESCRIPTION:Convergence of Emerging Technologies to address the Challenges of the 21st Century \nThere are numerous “Grand Challenges” facing humanity that will have to be addressed by us as a global society to maintain our well-being from the standpoint of quality of life\, healthcare\, environment\, energy needs\, and manufacturing efficiency\, if we are to continue humanity’s trajectory of progress. Traditional technologies based on classical disciplines and thought processes from the last several decades are no longer viable in addressing these challenges\, and a new approach based on interdisciplinary thinking is necessary. Fortunately\, numerous emerging technologies are advancing at an unimaginable pace\, and it is the convergence of these technologies that hold the potential to alter our lives\, businesses\, government\, society\, and the planet. These emerging technologies are establishing the basis for a new paradigm in the development and commercialization of next generation intelligent\, miniaturized\, highly robust complex systems. This lecture will highlight the 14 Grand Challenges identified by the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and will discuss some of the major technologies and their applications including\, intelligent sensors and cars\, smart highways\, tele-health\, clean technology\, next generation AI\, and others. The lecture will conclude with a description of the Grand Challenges Scholars Program that is being widely adopted by academic institutions worldwide. \nBiography\n\nDr. Asad M. Madni served as President of BEI Technologies from 1992 until its acquisition by Schneider Electric in 2006. He led the development and commercialization of intelligent sensors\, systems\, and instrumentation for which he has received worldwide acclaim. He developed the Extremely Slow-Motion Servo Control System for the Hubble Space Telescope\, which provided the Hubble with unprecedented accuracy and stability\, resulting in truly remarkable images that have enhanced our understanding of the universe. He also developed the revolutionary MEMS GyroChip® technology\, which is used worldwide for Electronic Stability Control and Rollover Protection in passenger vehicles\, thereby saving millions of lives every year. For his contributions and their widespread impact\, he has received over 100 national and international honors and awards including induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame\, the John Fritz Medal\, the IEEE Medal of Honor\, the Royal Academy of Engineering Prince Philip Prize\, and many others. He has also been elected to several academies and societies including the US National Academy of Engineering\, the UK Royal Academy of Engineering\, the Canadian Academy of Engineering\, the European Academy of Sciences and Arts\, and many others.  He has been awarded 6 honorary doctorate degrees and 7 honorary professorships. In 2019\, the IEEE HKN named its top award “The Asad M. Madni Outstanding Technical Achievement and Excellence Award” in his honor. In 2022\, Tau Beta Pi established “The Asad M. Madni Distinguished Alumnus Award and Student Scholarship” in his honor as well.
