Prof Ali Hessami (Director of R&D and Innovation at Vega Systems) will present “Climate Change, from Fundamentals to Smart Solutions” at 6pm (UTC) / 1pm EST on 06 March 2025 (re-scheduled from 20 Feb). Click (https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=SSIT+Lecture%3A+Climate+Change%2C+from+Fundamentals+to+Smart+Solutions&iso=20250306T18&p1=78&ah=1). IEEE UK and Ireland SSIT Chapter and SSIT IST-Africa SIGHT are cooperating with a number of IEEE OUs including North Jersey Section SSIT Chapter, Atlanta Section SSIT Chapter, Southeastern Michigan Section Computer Chapter, NJ Coast IM/Computer Joint Chapter, Northwest Florida Computer /Communications Joint Chapter, Lehigh Valley Computer Chapter and Northern Virginia/Baltimore/Washington SSIT Chapter to organise this SSIT Lecture as a joint Webinar on 06 March. Registration IEEE and SSIT Members as well as non-IEEE Members are invited to (https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/462162) and participate. IEEE Members should include their IEEE Membership Number when registering. Access to online Meeting Registered participants will be provided with the link prior to the event. Guest Lecture Focus Prof. Ali Hessami will present the second foundational lecture focused on climate science building on the initial lecture in October 2024 that covered the natural Earth Cycle, Green House effect, Green House Gases, the post-industrial trends in temperature rise etc. This talk is intended to conclude on the scientific fundamentals of climate science and introduce a scientific climate simulator (En-ROADS). The online simulator enables informed users and stakeholders to explore the impact of CO2 and other GHGs emissions on the future global temperature rise through various policy options from variations in the composition of energy supply to transportation electrification, buildings and industry, impact of growth, carbon removal and other sources of greenhouse emissions.

The IEEE Central Indiana Joint PES/PELS/IAS Chapter is pleased to host Dr. Yangmin Ding from NEC Laboratories America for an insightful webinar on Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) technology and its latest applications in power grid monitoring. One PDH will be available to those who attend the entire webinar. Abstract: As modern power grids face increasing challenges-from aging infrastructure and extreme weather to cybersecurity threats and the rise of distributed energy resources (DERs)-utilities need real-time, high-resolution monitoring solutions to enhance reliability and resilience. Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) is emerging as a transformative technology that leverages existing fiber-optic networks to provide continuous, wide-area visibility of grid assets without requiring additional power or sensors. In this talk, I will explore how DFOS enables utilities to detect and localize anomalies in real-time, from faults and mechanical stress on power utility infrastructures to environmental impacts like rainfall, icing, and temperature changes. I will also discuss how DFOS enhances predictive maintenance, physical security, and storm preparedness, ultimately helping grid operators make faster, data-driven decisions. Through real-world case studies, I will highlight how utilities are deploying DFOS to improve operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and strengthen grid resilience.

In 2025 we will offer ‘Officer Training’ to our ‘newly’ elected AND veteran officers and volunteers; as well as any IEEE member, at any grade level or position. Our wish is to help all gain a fuller awareness of the communication and management skills used within the IEEE, how they function and how to employ them both as IEEE officers, and in your everyday work and life. Classes: As an introduction to these skills, we will offer a set of IN PERSON classes supported by study materials available through the (https://r4.ieee.org/sem/) and the (https://ieee.learningpool.com/) The virtual classes will begin in the 1st week of MARCH 2025 and conclude end of MARCH. Each class will be conducted as an overview of the topic ‘de jour’ and a discussion or Q&A session to answer questions and clarify issues. (See the agenda below:) Note: Space for these classes is not like outer space, it is limited, so you must register to receive the necessary codes and passwords to attend.
