Specifically\, she has over 20 years of research experien ce in integrative analysis of multi-source high-dimensional biological dat a for novel association discovery between different biological entities un der different biological states. Dr. Zhang has extensive collaborative res earch experience in medical informatics\, ontology\, software engineering\ , biomedical and basic science fields. Her research mission is to leverage the gap between the analytical needs of arising from multi-source biologi cal “big” data in biomedical research and advanced informatics approac hes. As the lead of the bioinformatics core at University of Maryland Gree nebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center and University of Maryland School of Me dicine\, Dr. Zhang has been serving as co-principal investigator/co-invest igator leading the bioinformatics and statistical analyses in numerous fed eral funded research projects in cancer research. She has collaborated wit h researchers in various disease areas leading to over 70 peer-reviewed pu blications. Dr. Zhang has also been actively mentoring numerous graduate s tudents and postdoctoral fellows. She has also been organizing/co-organizi ng several international workshops in the informatics field since 2012. Dr . Zhang is a member of several professional societies\, including the Inst itute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)\, American Medical In formatics Association (AMIA) and the International Society for Computation al Biology (ISCB).\n\nNadim F. Haddad is an IEEE Life Fellow\, and a membe r of The Electron Devices Society (EDS) and the Nuclear and Plasma Science s Society (NPSS). He is currently serving as Chair\, Washington/Baltimore/ Northern Virginia Joint Sections Chapter of NPSS. He previously served as Chair\, Northern Virginia/Washington Joint Sections Chapter of The Nanotec hnology Council (NTC)\, as well as a Director in the Northern Virginia Sec tion.\n\nNadim received his BA in Physics and Mathematics from Kansas Wesl eyan University and his MS in Electrical Engineering from Michigan State U niversity. He retired from IBM as a Senior Technical Staff Member\, and fr om BAE Systems as Technical Director and Engineering Fellow. He was instru mental to the development of nine generations of radiation hardened techno logy and products in support of military\, civil and commercial applicatio ns at IBM\, Loral\, Lockheed Martin and BAE Systems. After retirement\, he served as a Term Professional Engineer at Vanderbilt University’s Insti tute for Space and Defense Electronics (ISDE). He authored or co-authored over 100 publications and is credited with 26 inventions. He is recognized in Marquis Who’s Who in America\, Who’s Who in Science and Engineerin g and Who’s Who in the World.\n\nMartin Schulman has over 30 years of te chnical experience in computer software\, networking\, and security\, and is currently a Technical Director at Broadcom Corp. He held prior technica l positions at numerous service providers and equipment manufacturers incl uding BBN Communications\, Bell Atlantic (now Verizon)\, Sprint Internatio nal\, Cisco Systems\, and Juniper Networks. He serves on the boards of the People With Disabilities Foundation (PWDF) and Amateur Radio on the Inter national Space Station - United States (ARISS-USA) and is a Senior member of and active volunteer with the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).\n\nHe holds M.S. degrees in physics and electrical engin eering from Carnegie Mellon University and The Johns Hopkins University\, respectively\, a Professional Degree in Electrical Engineering from the Ge orge Washington University\, and was an adjunct faculty member at Loyola C ollege. He co-authored a book and has five patents. He also has an amateur extra radio license and is an active radio club volunteer.\n\nAgenda: \n7 :00 pm - Introductions\n\n7:10 pm - Discussion Begins\n\n7:40 pm - Opens Q &A\n\n8:00 pm close\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/312174 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/312174 ORGANIZER:pinpingsun@ieee.org SEQUENCE:28 SUMMARY:Career\, Networking and Mentoring URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/312174 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Do you know how to boost your care er through Network and Mentoring?</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hear from our fo ur panelists about the possibilities and career path in academic and indus try</li>\n<li>Learn how to benefit from network from IEEE and mentoring</l i>\n<li>Q &amp\; A session for individual questions</li>\n<li>Submit your questions to pinpingsun@ieee.org.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Panelists' bios: </strong></p>\n<p><strong>Kiki Ikossi</strong></p>\n<p>Dr. Ikossi has Ph.D . and M.S. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Univers ity of Cincinnati with emphasis in Solid State Electronics\, and a B.S.E.E . from the National Technical University of Athens (EMP)\, Greece.</p>\n<p >Dr. Ikossi&rsquo\;s area of professional expertise is in advanced micro a nd nano electronic devices in exploratory materials.
