Mr Al Shpuntoff will do a deep dive into his career as a consultant in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, High Performance Computing (HPC), Sequencing informatics, including Coding and Design. He will cover his work as a consultant, contracts with various government organizations, and government projects of special interest including but not limited to projects to identify remains. For example, he will cover his work with The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, where he worked with the DPAA project at Offutt, as data science and bioinformatics specialist, on a project identifying remains of casualties and MIAs from past combats. He will also incorporate his background, how he prepared for this career, and a discussion about Technical Marketing, Exceptional Customer Support, and first-class technical training and education.

In the past decade, the global shift towards addressing climate change has highlighted the electric grid as a critical enabler in achieving net-zero emissions. Electrification demands from sectors like transportation and buildings rely heavily on a resilient, reliable grid—especially as extreme weather events, such as wildfires and hurricanes, increasingly challenge its stability. Ensuring continuous power during these events is crucial, both for maintaining infrastructure and minimizing disruption to daily life. As a result, stakeholders across governments, utilities, and regulatory bodies are focusing more than ever on policies and initiatives to enhance grid resiliency. However, a fundamental question arises: how do we effectively measure grid resiliency? Developing metrics that assess the grid's ability to withstand and recover from extreme weather events is essential to ensure progress. This talk will introduce a comprehensive resiliency metric framework, designed to evaluate the grid's performance in adverse weather conditions. The metrics fall under two categories: System Performance, which assesses the grid's ability to endure extreme events, and Operational Performance, measuring its recovery capacity. Through this framework, we can better understand, measure, and enhance the resilience of our electric distribution grid. Speaker(s): Shikhar Pandey Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/436242
