InField specializes in electromagnetic compatibi lity and interference (EMC/EMI)\, electromagnetic environmental effects (E 3)\, Radiation Hazards (RADHAZ)\, and computational electromagnetic analys is. For the past twenty-four years\, InField’s primary focus has been el ectromagnetic analysis and testing of military shipboard environments for the Royal Canadian Navy and for the New Zealand Royal Navy. She has also t aught a Software Engineering course at McGill University.\n\nShe received her Ph. D. (1988)\, M. Eng. (1985) and B. Eng. (1983) from McGill Universi ty under the supervision of Dr. Peter Silvester. She was a visiting schola r at Cambridge University in England (1985). Dr. Pinchuk is the IEEE Montr eal Section Chair and the EMC Society Chapter Chair. She was also a member of the IEEE EMC Society Board of Directors\, and the Canadian Chair for U RSI Section B. She is also the author of several children’s books which focus on engineering for youngsters.\n\nMohamed Khalil\, CEO of Pyrocycle and Ph.D candidate – Chemical Engineering Department (École Polytechniq ue de Montréal). His Ph.D project focuses on developing a new thermochemi cal process for recycling the end-of-life electronics waste. He started hi s entrepreneurial career in November 2016. In April 2017\, He was selected among the Top 25 emerging entrepreneurs in Québec. He was selected among the six young innovators supported by the Fonds de recherche du Québec ( FRQ) as part of the entrepreneurial contest Adopte inc. 2018. In September 2018\, he has been honored as a Clean50 - Emerging Leader\, for demonstra ted leadership in sustainability through the development of his solution f or recycling Electronic waste and his project was selected as one of Canad a's 2019 Clean50 Top Projects. He is a Canadian delegate for the G20 - You ng Entrepreneurs' Alliance 2019 that will be held on May\, Fukuoka - Japan .\n\nMargaret Magdesian\, BSc Pharmacology\, PhD Biochemistry\, has over 2 0 years of experience in biopharmaceutical research. Tired of the slow\, e xpensive and inefficient process of drug development\, in collaboration wi th researchers from McGill University\, she developed a new product to inc rease standardization\, precision\, and reproducibility of cellular assays . Recently\, she launched a company called ANANDA Devices ([www.AnandaDevi ces.com](http://www.anandadevices.com/)) to commercialize this product and stimulate other scientists to achieve reproducible and impactful results faster. Dr Magdesian’s technology won 25 awards and grants in science an d innovation in Canada\, US and France and her products have the potential to dramatically accelerate the drug development cycle of new therapies fo r people that need it.\n\nAgenda: \n18:00 – 18:15 Welcome and Opening\n\ nSaida Maaroufi\, Chair of IEEE WIE Montreal\, Polytechnique Montreal\n\nR ania Gamal\, Vice-Chair of IEEE WIE Montréal\, McGill University\n\n18:15 – 19:45 Distinguished Panelists\n\nAmy Pinchuk\, President & Founder of InField Scientific Inc.\n\nMohamed Khalil\, Ph.D. Candidate - President & Founder of Pyrocycle\, Polytechnique Montreal\n\nMargaret Magdesian\, Pre sident & Founder of Ananda Devices\n\n19:45 – 20:15 Discussions\n\n20:15 – 20:30 Conclusion and Closing\n\nRoom: ENGMC 603\, Bldg: McConnell Eng ineering Building\, Dept of Electrical and Computer Engineering 3480 Unive rsity\, Montreal\, Quebec\, Canada\, H3A 2K6 LOCATION:Room: ENGMC 603\, Bldg: McConnell Engineering Building\, Dept of E lectrical and Computer Engineering 3480 University\, Montreal\, Quebec\, C anada\, H3A 2K6 ORGANIZER:saidamaaroufi@ieee.org SEQUENCE:25 SUMMARY:STEM Entrepreneurs Panel URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/194535 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><br /><a href="https://www.polymtl.ca/IEEE WIEMontreal/index.html">IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) Montreal Section</ a> is pleased to organize STEM Entrepreuneurs Panel on the occasion of the International Women's Day 2019.<br /><br />You are invited to hear about experiences of successful and experienced STEM Entrepreneurs.
