November 5, 2020 - The Intersection of AI, Medical Imaging, and Venture Capital - When Innovation Meets Regulation
Speaker: Eric A. Appel, Assistant Professor of Materials Science & Engineering, Stanford University
Technology has immense power to help people. A single-minded focus on profits often requires companies to ignore 95% of humanity for excellent business reasons. Sometimes, companies mistake their economic interest as a valid reason to do things that actively hurt human beings. Our speaker will provide a more optimistic vision of how technologists, entrepreneurs and investors can choose a more positive path, using the innovation tools of Silicon Valley to maximize human benefit while still honoring most of the constraints of our modern capitalist system.

October 3, 2019 - End to End Journey to for PEEK Medtech Applications: Insights and Revelations - Sanjiv Bhatt
While the development of medical and pharmaceutical devices not only takes time and money, it is also highly regulated. Selecting the right choice of material and process is essential in order to meet compliance regulations, ensure certification processes and reproducibility, and most importantly, provide a high quality product.

September 5, 2019 - Searching for Life Beyond Earth - Nathalie Cabrol
Speaker: Nathalie Cabrol, Director, Carl Sagan Center for Research, SETI Institute
The concept of Habitable Zone (HZ) was once the only way to estimate the chances of a planet to support life. The past decades of exploration in the Solar System and the study of terrestrial extreme environments have shown that the subsurface and interior of several planets and moons located outside the HZ had – or may still have – conditions suitable for the development and survival of life.
