Greetings,

On behalf of GE Aviation, I would like to share a unique opportunity with you and would like you to encourage top female students meeting the criteria presented to apply.  

GE Aviation is hosting our 5^th annual Female Diversity Recruitment Leadership Summit from October 31^st –November 1^st at our headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio. During the Summit, a selected group of 35 top minority female students will get have the opportunity to learn more about GE Aviation’s technology, executive leadership, and career opportunities. The weekend networking with GE employees and leaders and attend professional development workshops. They will be able to have candid discussions with professional women of all ages on GE’s work environment and work-life balance while getting to know more about what we do at GE Aviation. Candidates will be selected from top universities around the country and will interview for an internship position at the end of the Summit. If selected, GE will cover all travel, meal, and lodging expenses for the Summit.

Enclosed is a 1-page summary of the event and criteria for applying. Please pass this information to potential candidates and encourage them to apply. As a Summit attendee myself, I saw firsthand how valuable this experience was and how it set GE apart. I was able to interact with successful female leaders while getting to know more about the business itself, and as a result I became a part of this incredible company. I look forward to sharing my experience with GE Aviation and am excited to interact with our future female leaders.

GE imagination at work

The new Eclipse research custer includes three collaborating labs at UMBC that focus on low-level hardware design to data analytics. Current projects include wearable computing, hardware security, and human assisted computer vision.

Professor Nilanjan Banerjee’s Mobile, Pervasive, and Sensor System Lab performs research in cyber-physical systems spanning mobile systems, renewable-energy driven systems, and low power wearable sensors. It uses cross-disciplinary techniques including hardware design, software systems design, and analytics to build more usable and robust systems.

Professor Ryan Robucci’s Covail Lab develops on cooperative technolgy that explores ultra-low-power hybrid analog-digital computational systems, sensors, and hardware security. Studies of biological systems are leveraged for inspiring signal and image processing algoritghms and sensor system design for embedded aplications including robust wearable, mobile, biomedical systems.

Professor Chintan Patel’s VLSI Lab focuses on electronic design automation (EDA) for reliable digital systems and low-power VLSI design. Research on hardware security, power supply noise analysis and estimation, delay testing enables the development of secure and robust systems.

Well, so much for a reprieve.

Less than a day and a half after its inception, the ceasefire between Ukraine and pro-Russian separatists appears to have been shattered by artillery fire in the port-city of Mariupol.

It’s just the latest sobering episode in a conflict inching towards full-scale war between West and East.

Granted, to hear locals tell, the truce didn’t have much hope to begin with.

Still, it’s a grim indicator that things in Europe might keep getting worse before things get better.

IF they get better, that is.
