Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA, was the opening #keynote at the IIT Bay Area Alumni Association Leadership Conference 2023. In 2023 #nvidia became the first #chipmanufacturer to reach a #marketcap of over $1 Trillion. And the sixth #company across the #globe to reach that milestone. NVIDIA is the #leadingmanufacturer of #computerchips running heavy #videogames. It started investing in #ai and #ml #researchanddevelopment ( R&D ) during the last #decade and it has helped increase the #marketshare in high #performance #computing in #datacenters and AI #computing used in #robotics, #cryptomining, #autonomousvehicles, and #mobiledevices. Jensen Huang is a rare #combination of #humility and #incredible #success, focused #vision and #leadership #clarity. He had the vision to prepare his highly #skilled, #deeptech #teams for the advent of #airevolution. He is the new #rockstar of the #techworld, and a favorite of #wallstreet. https://lnkd.in/dXAxpYcc

The Dutch chip sector is among the forerunners worldwide. It is vital to maintain and strengthen that position. The Twente region is an important contributor to the national ecosystem. It has now announced its plans as part of the Beethoven project on how it will contribute to this national ambition to remain a world leader. 📰 English: https://lnkd.in/ehndG8im 📰 Dutch: https://lnkd.in/egiEhGGm 💪 Among the partners that have been working closely with us on the plans: Twente Board | Hogeschool Saxion | ROC van Twente | Gemeente Enschede | ChipTech Twente | Demcon | VDL Enabling Technologies Group (ETG)

Celebrating Dr. Basel Alhaji's Doctoral Achievement at TU Clausthal We are immensely proud to celebrate a significant milestone at the Institute for Software & Systems Engineering, TU Clausthal. Dr. Basel Alhaji has excellently completed his doctoral defense, showcasing his innovative work in the realm of human-robot interaction and the dynamics of trust. This important research spotlights the measurement and application of trust in teams comprising both humans and robots, emphasizing the critical role of shared mental models and predictability. This is particularly crucial for optimizing team collaboration while ensuring safety. Dr. Alhaji's contributions are pivotal in advancing the integration of AI and robotics into collaborative settings, aiming to enhance both team efficiency and safety. Guided expertly by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Prilla and myself, Prof. Dr. Andreas Rausch, and with the invaluable leadership of our dean, Prof. Dr. Jörg Müller, who chaired the examining committee, Dr. Alhaji's dissertation has established a new benchmark in the understanding of trust formation in human-robot collaboration. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Basel Alhaji on his well-earned success and in looking forward to the continued impact of his research. His dedication and path-breaking approach are an inspiration to us all! #TUClausthal #DigitalTechnologies #digitecstudieren #DIGIT #Center4DigitalTechnologies #ISSE #Institute4SoftwareSystemsEngineering #SoftwareEngineering #digitizedcirculareconomy #circulareconomy

Dismantling the Boundaries Between Ideas, Sectors & People: the future of problem-solving with Professor Katherine Daniell   What is the School of Cybernetics and why has it become an engine for innovation? What does history tell us about how robotics will affect society in the future? How can we generate more conversation between policy-makers, engineers and businesses?    Professor Katherine Daniell (2005 John Monash Scholar) joins us to explain how and why she established the ANU School of Cybernetics Masters Program, the first and only program of its kind in the world and the first new School at The Australian National University in nearly half a century, in only five weeks.    Katherine's expertise spans across engineering, computing, French and policy. As an academic, she believes in the value of teaching students how to think about cultures, perspectives and values that go beyond the scope conventionally provided for them within our sectored economy. For Katherine, changing the world will require us to improve the way we work with people different from ourselves, and to embrace an emerging movement that recognises the urgency for cross-sector expertise.

Family and career - balancing both remains a challenge Juggling a full-time job with three kids, nursery pickups, sports activities, and the occasional illness is no easy feat. We are delighted that Johannes has been working with us for seven months. One of the reasons he values #TLK is its #family-friendly approach. Here's why: - Flexible working hours and the option to reduce hours if needed. - Ability to work from home or somewhere else with his laptop. - Mostly digital meetings, eliminating the need for extensive business trips. - The possibility of taking spontaneous holidays. Good #communication is key, and if necessary, we organize a replacement. This is #teamwork. It allows Johannes to tackle challenging #engineering tasks while still being present for his family. Academic background: Johannes holds a master's degree in automation engineering from #RWTH Aachen University and subsequently completed his Ph.D. His dissertation, entitled "Optimal Operation of Semi-Batch Polymerization Reactors," was conducted under the supervision of Professor Mitsos. #WorkLifeBalance #Career #ProfessionalGrowth #FutureOfWork #Optimization #Simulation
