Dr.Ruomei Li

At first,Dr. Ruomei Li thanked the volunteers and congratulated the members of PES STB for the inauguration. She said that student empowerment can be achieved through technological innovation & skill enhancement programs. She stated that people from small towns can also do great things, all depends on the merit we have but not from the place where we come from. She showed her citations in Google scholar and proved that the odds like this pandemic covid situation cannot affect our works if we are well determined .

      Dr.Ruomei Li lecture included the struggles she faced due to gender bias, in her childhood. She also inspired us with her achievements in the field of Electrical Engineering in China and around the world.She also  discussed about the development of first ever DC breaker in HVDC 500KV test, by her team of associates. She Created awareness regarding IEEE SPS, IEEE PES, various workshops, competitions and encouraged us to collaborate with her and stated an inspiring definition of "UNIVERSITY", which was stated by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.
