À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ

You're invited to ConradConnect Live, a free networking event which connects Conrad students and alumni across all of our programs (graduate and undergraduate), with each other and with friends from the À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ ecosystem.

This month, we'll be joined by Jim Robeson (CEO at PiinPoint,  MBET '13 alumnus), Caitlyn MacGregor (CEO at Plum) and David Au-Yeung (Chief People Officer at Flipp). These three guest entrepreneurs will share their experiences growing, scaling, and leading startup teams, in a fast-paced panel moderated by followership expert and Conrad professor Marc Hurwitz.

WE Go.DEsign is a two day Engineering Design and Research Competition for women currently enrolled in grades 10 and 11 presented by the . The Grand Prize will be a language, engineering and culture trip to Germany during Summer 2017! There are two elements to the competition, a Research Symposium and a Design Challenge. Each element will be judged by Goethe-Institut and University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ faculty and staff, with prizes awarded in each element.

The WIN Nano Graduate Student Seminar Series provides an opportunity for nanotechnology graduate students of WIN members to present and discuss their research, to help foster knowledge exchange and dialogue between researchers and across disciplines.

Abstract:

The Cognitive Dynamic System (CDS) is a unique research tool inspired by certain aspects of the brain; one aspect is "predictive adaptation," known in cognitive neuroscience. From an engineering perspective, predictive adaptation plays a key role in the CDS, most importantly when the environment is disturbed by the presence of unexpected adverse events, commonly referred to as ‘risk.’
