The first of our many planned sessions being an intern ational panel discussion organized by the branch in collaboration with the IEEE COMSATS Islamabad and IEEE RUSL (Rajarata University of Sri Lanka) S B.\n\nThe primary aim of this event was to raise awareness about the techn ology currently revolutionizing clean energy and how people can contribute to this process. The event began with the moderator Ms. Chaltu Marta\, we lcoming everyone to the event and introducing all the speakers Dr. Kaylan K Sen\, Dr. Celia Shahnaz\, Dr. Preethy V Warrier\, and Mr. Sanaullah Khan Jadoon.\n\nThe questions began with how electricity can be brought to are as that are deprived of it. Here Dr. Warrier briefly covered the technical challenges involved with getting to it. And Dr. Sen discussed his experie nce trying to get the Indian Government to provide electricity to the more impoverished villages only to realize that it wasn't cost-effective to pr ovide them with electricity. He elaborated on the overall situation which later on\, transitioned to a conversation about the inefficient electrical grid and how governments refuse to adapt\, so the general public must.\n\ nFollowing this\, Dr. Shahnaz brought up a short presentation of her own\, discussing the technical aspects of AI & ML in the energy industry. Dr. W arrier chipped in with real-world examples based on her experiences\, such as the sensors employed in remote areas to detect faults in power plants without visiting or calculating wind farm capacity with machine learning.\ n\nThey all then briefly discussed how the demand for such innovation had gone up since the Paris Climate Accord\, and Mr. Jadoon & Dr. Sen specific ally covered how to strengthen the energy sectors in Asian countries and w hat they are doing.\n\nThe event proved to be a great success which empowe red over 73 attendees consisting of students and experts. As such\, IEEE B UBT SB would like to leave you with the message Dr. Sen gave us regarding clean energy that is to "act locally and think globally"!\n\nCo-sponsored by: Md.
