In her role\, she develops policy initiatives and advocates for robust fu nding in the areas of energy\, aerospace and research & development workin g with Congress and the Administration to advance a legislative agenda tha t benefits the research and technical community. She represents IEEE-USA's interests within the broader STEM policy community through the Task Force on American Innovation\, Coalition for National Security Research\, the E nergy Sciences Coalition\, and the Coalition for National Science Funding. Prior to getting involved in STEM policy\, she was a semiconductor engine er at Raytheon and a patent examiner for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Off ice.\n\nLast year Congress passed a comprehensive energy bill aimed at mod ernizing the electric grid\, providing funding for renewable energy resear ch and development\, addressing energy storage issues\, increasing access to new nuclear power sources\, recycling and reusing critical minerals\, s trengthening carbon capture capabilities and improving federal tech transf er and industry partnership programs. This talk will discuss this latest b ill and provide an overview of IEEE-USA activities in energy policy. Of pa rticular interest to IEEE-USA's energy policy committee are issues relatin g to the grid. Modernizing the grid will require improving both physical a nd cyber security as well as increasing access to renewable and nuclear en ergy sources. I will provide an overview of how IEEE-USA works with Congre ss and the Administration to address these challenges.\n\nVirtual: https:/ /events.vtools.ieee.org/m/290105 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/290105 ORGANIZER:hurstj@us.ibm.com SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:Green Mountain Section Year End Awards URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/290105 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Join us for our virtual year end event whe re we will hand out our Section awards and hear an exciting talk from Alin e McNaull. &nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Aline staffs IEEE-USA's research and developmen t policy committee\, the committee on aerospace and transportation\, as we ll as the energy policy committee.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;In her role\, she develops policy initiatives and advocates for robust funding in the areas of energ y\, aerospace and research &amp\; development working with Congress and th e Administration to advance a legislative agenda that benefits the researc h and technical community.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;She represents IEEE-USA's interest s within the broader STEM policy community through the Task Force on Ameri can Innovation\, Coalition for National Security Research\, the Energy Sci ences Coalition\, and the Coalition for National Science Funding.
