Wright State University\u2019s College of Engineering and Computer Science will launch its Dean\u2019s Speakers Series in October with talks on quantum technology and women in engineering and aviation.<\/p>\n

The lectures will focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The speakers are prominent leaders regionally, nationally or in STEM fields. The series will include up to three speakers each semester.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe series captures talks on new technology areas such as quantum and artificial intelligence,\u201d said Darryl Ahner, Ph.D., dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science<\/a>. \u201cIt aims to capture inspiring personal journeys of successful individuals from various backgrounds.\u201d<\/p>\n

The series kicks off Tuesday, Oct. 1, with a lecture on \u201cA Quantum of God: Myths and Promises of Salvation in Quantum Technology\u201d by Dr. Stefan B\u00f6rnchen, a research scientist for humanities and digitalization at the University of Luxembourg. This talk is hosted in collaboration with the College of Liberal Arts.<\/p>\n

The series continues on Wednesday, Oct. 9, with a talk on \u201cWomen in Engineering and Aviation: An Unfinished Revolution\u201d by Eileen Bjorkman, Ph.D. Bjorkman is a retired U.S. Air Force colonel, senior executive and flight test engineer. She is the author of three books, including \u201cThe Fly Girls Revolt: The Story of the Women Who Kicked Open the Door to Fly in Combat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each talk takes place from 1 to 2 p.m. in 109 Oelman Hall. Seating for each lecture is limited. For more information and to register visit wright.edu\/CECS-DSS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ahner said the Dean\u2019s Speakers Series will serve \u201cas a valuable platform to foster collaboration, inspire innovation and provide insights into cutting-edge research and developments.\u201d<\/p>\n

The series, supported by the Wright State University Foundation, will facilitate collaboration, inspire students, showcase research, promote interdisciplinary research, address current challenges, encourage innovation, engage the community, support professional development and enhance the reputation of the College of Engineering and Computer Science.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not wanting it to be insular to Wright State,\u201d Ahner said. \u201cWe want this to be a great opportunity not only for our students but also for community members to see what\u2019s going on at Wright State.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a community of lifelong learners,\u201d he said. \u201cWe do things to facilitate learning inside and outside the classroom. This is one of the outside the classroom examples of why we\u2019re a leader in STEM.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
