This panel discussion brings to gether leading professionals from industry\, academia\, and government to share the experiences and stories in their career journey. The panel will also discuss topics such as emerging skills that graduates need to succeed in a new professional environment\, the importance of soft and technical skills\, networking\, challenges present for fresh graduates\, Early Caree r Researchers (ECRs) and PhDs in the workforce of STEM disciplines.\n\nThe event will be held virtual on Zoom and is open to all. The discussion wil l be open for questions and discussions with the panellists\, so please do n’t hesitate to bring your questions. Registration is required. A Zoom l ink will be forwarded to all registered participants 24hrs before the even t.\n\nPanellists:\n\nNan Yang received the Ph.D. degree from Beijing Insti tute of Technology (BIT)\, China\, in March 2011. Since July 2014\, he has been with College of Engineering and Computer Science at the Australian N ational University\, Canberra\, Australia\, where he is currently an Assoc iate Professor at the School of Engineering\, the leader of the multi-scal e communications research team\, and the head of the Emerging Communicatio ns Laboratory. He received the IEEE ComSoc Asia-Pacific Outstanding Young Researcher Award in 2014\, and the Best Paper Awards from the IEEE GlobeCO M 2016 and the IEEE VTC Spring 2013. Also\, he received the Top Editor Awa rd from the Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies in 20 17 and eight Exemplary Reviewer Awards from top IEEE journals from 2012 to 2019. He is currently serving on the Editorial Board of five journals\, s uch as the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications\, IEEE Transaction s on Molecular\, Biological\, and Multi-Scale Communications\, and IEEE Tr ansactions on Vehicular Technology. He has published more than 160 journal and conference articles at international prestigious venues. His current research interests include terahertz communications\, ultra-reliable and l ow-latency communications\, cyber-physical security\, intelligent connecti vity\, and molecular communications.\n\nShireane McKinnie is a leader in a cquisition and sustainment of complex\, high technology Defence systems. H er experience spans aerospace\, electronics\, maritime\, land\, explosive ordnance and ICT sectors. As a General Manager and in other positions in t he Defence Materiel Organisation Shireane led the acquisition and sustainm ent effort for significant renewal of Australian Defence Force’s (ADF) f ixed and rotary wing aircraft fleets\, its ship and submarine fleets\, veh icle fleet upgrades and the modernisation of the ADF’s Command\, Control \, Communications\, Intelligence\, Surveillance\, Reconnaissance and explo sive ordnance capabilities. Since leaving Defence in 2015\, Shireane estab lished her own business to provide professional services to Government and industry. She holds a number of governance positions in the Public and Pr ivate sectors. In 2010\, Shireane was awarded the Public Service Medal for outstanding achievement in the field of engineering and defence acquisiti on. She was also awarded an Honorary Fellowship of Engineers Australia in 2015\, the highest membership award\, for conspicuous service to the engin eering profession.\n\nJae Young (Jae) Nam is a Systems Engineer at Boeing Defence Australia. She works on aerospace projects\, most of which are inv olved with upgrades to the Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) syst em. The military aircraft provides Australian Defence Force with one of th e most advanced airspace battle management capabilities in the world. In h er day-to-day job\, she works with various teams of different expertise fo r conceptualisation\, design\, verification and integration activities. Sh e also volunteers her time to help employees network with each other as th e REACH Networking Lead for her site. She graduated in 2020 with PhD in Me chanical and Material Systems Engineering from Australian National Univers ity\, where she researched the failure behaviour of fibre-reinforced compo site and fibre metal laminates. She also worked part-time as a Product Man ager at Seeing Machines\, delivering software/hardware products that use i n-house developed AI-technology for detection and intervention of driver f atigue and distraction.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/28611 1 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/286111 ORGANIZER:chathurika.mediwaththe@ieee.org SEQUENCE:14 SUMMARY:Future-proofing your career in STEM: A panel discussion URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/286111 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>IEEE Young Professionals and Women in Engi neering of the Australian Capital Territory Section are pleased to host a panel discussion on &ldquo\;Future-proofing your career in STEM&rdquo\;.
