Speaker:  Rich Hollingsworth ’71

Director of Operations, High Asset Tagging, Tego, Inc.

“Radio-Frequency ID in Aerospace, Life Sciences & Beyond:
Collecting, Storing, Managing and Using Intelligent Asset Data”

Managing high value assets, by simple Internet of Things (IoT) connection to “Big Data,” leads to inefficiencies in handling large volumes of disparate data over long periods (e.g., decades).  Asset identification by reading barcode or RFID EPC and sending to “Big Data” to retrieve asset data is likewise limiting, where Internet protocols don’t make sense due to cost, latency, or environmental conditions.  But “intelligent assets” use RFID tags with asset data permanently stored on the asset and read by a simple RFID reader --- eliminating the need for “Big Data.”  After describing how Tego delivers its high memory RFID technology core “intelligent assets” in the aerospace and life science industries, Rich Hollingsworth will delineate the semiconductor and software development challenges yet to be met, before “intelligent assets” can be extended to many other industries.

Speaker:  Jonathan Lu, Princeton ’18
Department of Computer Science, Princeton University

“Stakeholder Mechanics in Shaping Climate Change Policy: 
Weighing Carbon Fee & Dividend Options for New Jersey”

In one of the first public presentations from a new white paper on carbon fee and dividend policy for New Jersey --- Jonathan Lu ’18 will probe the political feasibility of grappling with climate change. The product of nearly 30 authors from the Woodrow Wilson School and a dozen plus science departments at Princeton and elsewhere, this study tapped input from legislators; environmental, labor and business groups.  Breathtaking in sweep, balanced in perspectives --- analyses from this paper include:  NJ energy production & usage; health & environmental impacts; economic effects; business considerations; legal barriers; transportation & climate initiatives; pros & cons of varied policy options; and examples of Carbon Fee Policies, already successfully enacted in the US and around the world.

A4P - Princeton Area PA3 Presents

2018 ACADEMY AWARD® NOMINEE - BEST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE

ABACUS: small enough to jail 

When: Wednesday, May 2, 4:30PM - 6:30PM 

Where: Princeton University, Whitman College Theatre 

From Steve James - Director of Hoop Dreams and Life Itself

ABACUS: small enough to jail tells the incredible saga of the Chinese immigrant Sung family, owners of Abacus Federal Savings of Chinatown, New York. Accused of mortgage fraud by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., Abacus becomes the only U.S. bank to face criminal charges in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. The indictment and subsequent trial forces the Sung family to defend themselves – and their bank’s legacy in the Chinatown community – over the course of a five-year legal battle."

Chanterelle Sung '00 plays herself in this Oscar nominated documentary.  She and her sisters Jill and Vera will visit Princeton and after the movie, serve on a Q&A panel moderated by Professor Beth Lew-Williams and Joyce Chen Shueh '96. Of the four Sung sisters, three were trained as lawyers, the fourth a physician — including Jill Sung, the bank’s chief executive, and Vera Sung, a director of the bank — and Chanterelle ‘00 who ironically once worked in the district attorney’s office that prosecuted the case.

Speaker:  Konrad P. Kording, ETH Zurich ’97, *01

Professor, Bioengineering, University of Pennsylvania

“Technical Innovations in Data Driven Medicine: 

Cross Validating Methods In Disease Detection, Diagnosis & Treatment”

Smart phones and other wearable sensors, increasingly embedded in everyday life, have spurred rapid accumulation of our daily life data.  While machine learning algorithms, derived from this data, have yet to make a major impact on medical decision making, they do hold promise and are increasingly used in studies of:  cardiovascular disease, falls, measuring rehabilitation outcomes in stroke and amputees, monitoring Parkinson’s disease symptoms and detecting depression.  But how reliable are these algorithms and how should they be evaluated?  Dr. Kording will discuss these new data sources; emerging methods to gauge their reliability; and the awesome possibilities they empower for human health.
