International Students: let's get hired. Trying to fill a couple of really good jobs. Contact me today if you fit the bill. You must have: technical expertise in SAP BW architecture, data modeling, extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) processes. Even better if you have an understanding of conversion strategies, including data migration, etc. And of course, some programming (Java, C/C++ or Python) is always nice to have.

Did you know that the Center for Connected and Automated Transportation (CCAT) has launched a certificate program? This course features five modules covering a range of topics such as CAV modeling, AV legal implications, and much more. Undergraduate and graduate-level engineering students at all eight partner institutions (The University of Akron, Central State University, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Michigan College of Engineering, Center for Transportation Studies, University of Minnesota, Northwestern University, Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Purdue, and University of Wisconsin-Madison) can register through December 15th. Lecturers include Neda Masoud, Gabor Orosz, Tifani Sadek, Z. Morley Mao, Andre Weimerskirch, Xiaopeng (Shaw) Li, and Keke Long. Learn more: https://myumi.ch/mZE7V

?? Thrilled to have participated in the?MIT Energy & Climate Hack?held from?November 15th to 17th at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology! ???? This dynamic event brought together brilliant and enthusiastic participants from diverse domains across various schools and programs. Over three days, participants tackled real-life challenges faced by sponsor companies in areas such as: ?? Storing renewable energy and minimizing energy curtailments ?? Battery technology enhancement ? Grid power transmission congestion ?? Forest conservation through AI and tech ?? Carbon footprint minimization ?? Nuclear fusion reactor promotion ?? Advanced data processing hardware upgrades The experience was truly transformative, pushing us to think beyond conventional solutions while staying laser-focused on creating actionable, quantifiable value. It was hectic, yet the cross-domain learning opportunities exceeded all expectations. A heartfelt thank you to?the organizers (special shoutout to?Jayant W., Becca Sandercock, Jennifer Turliuk, Na Chen, Asmi Pareek, and the entire team) for executing this event seamlessly. A special thanks to?Dipesh Pherwani, @Pratik Bhandari, Jiwan Mallik, and Mohamed Abdel Galeel Saleh,M.Sc., CEng,CMRP?,TUV FSE, my amazing teammates, for their collaboration and creativity in solving a challenging yet fascinating problem. I will always cherish the time spent brainstorming and building solutions together. A big thank you to?Avangrid?and especially?Lander Arrue Jiménez de Vicu?a?and Lauren Magin for their invaluable guidance on our challenge related to the application of battery storage systems in renewable power generation. Your insights were instrumental in helping us craft a better understanding of the problem's real-world implications. Beyond the hackathon itself, the networking opportunities with participants, MIT organizers, faculty, and sponsor companies were immensely enriching. This experience has undoubtedly strengthened my connections in the climate and energy sector. Lastly, I am deeply grateful to the?Master of Engineering Management at Northwestern University, and Prof. Mark Werwath for supporting my participation in this incredible event. I strongly encourage my fellow Northwestern University students to explore similar competitions to broaden their horizons and learn beyond the classroom. Here’s to innovation, collaboration, and a sustainable future! ??? #MITHackathon #EnergyAndClimate #Innovation #Sustainability #MEM #Northwestern #Networking
