SUMMARY:Pacific Northwest National Laboratory at UTSA
DESCRIPTION:Operated by the Battelle Memorial Institute since 1965\, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is one of the United States of Department of Energy national laboratories\, managed by the DOE Office of Science. The main campus of the laboratory is located in Richland\, Washington. \nWe are pleased to welcome PNNL researchers to UTSA for the following guest lectures. \n\nSAMUEL CLEMENTS | 10:00am – 10:45am\nBlended Attacks: Integrating Cyber and Physical Assessments\nBoth physical and cyber security domains offer solutions for the discovery of vulnerabilities\, but neither method fully represents the true potential security risk to a site\, facility\, or asset nor comprehensively assesses the overall security posture. This project evaluated physical and cyber vulnerability analysis (VA) techniques and provided a strategic approach to integrating the interdependent relationships of each into a single VA capability\, enabling increased identification and assessment of the true overall risk during a vulnerability assessment. \nWILL HUTTON | 10:45am – 11:30am\nTeaching a Computer to Fight Itself (Implementing an ORGE AI in Python)\nOGRE is an asymmetric board game created in 1977 simulating a futuristic fighting force of infantry and armor against a single\, massive\, artificially intelligent cyber tank. Figuring out a winning strategy was difficult\, so I taught my computer how to play the game using Python and genetic algorithms\, so my program could learn how to play the game better. \nBiographies: \nSAM CLEMENTS\, upon graduating from Carnegie Mellon University’s Masters of Information Security\, Policy\, and Management program\, recognized the need to expand cyber security research beyond information technology systems to the control systems that run our nation’s critical infrastructure. As a recipient of the Scholarship for Service program\, he looked across the federal government and federally funded research and development centers to find where this research was occurring and in 2008 began working as a Cyber Security Researcher at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. PNNL’s strong ties to the US electrical grid made it a natural fit. Sam’s research has covered technical evaluations of wireless systems for use in critical infrastructure systems\, secure network architectures\, and blending physical and cyber security assessment processes for which he was awarded a patent. \nWILLIAM HUTTON spent four years active duty with the United States Army as a military intelligence and electronic warfare specialist. He received his bachelor of arts in philosophy and computer science from Central Washington University in 1999. William has over 20 years of software development experience\, spent five years working at the Pacific Northwest’s only operating nuclear reactor\, and two years at the Hanford site before coming to the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. While at PNNL\, William has\nfocused on protecting critical infrastructure\, cyber and physical security\, cryptography\, and resiliency. He is currently a PhD candidate at Washington\nState University. \nDownload Flyer \nSave \nSave \nRegister for this event

DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, I will demonstrate how to design and create storyboards for video lectures. I will also showcase the storyboards that I created for my first ever hybrid class as well as those in progress for a new hybrid class. \n  \nRegister for this eventPresented By:Dr. Becky Huang Assistant Professor for Bicultural-Bilingual StudiesAs a technology lover (and sci-fi fan)\, I have always had a strong interest in teaching hybrid/online courses. I attended the UTSA hybrid academy and taught my first hybrid class in Summer 2016\, both of which I enjoyed. I am teaching a hybrid class again this semester (Spring 2017) and am also working on converting another face-to-face class into a hybrid for Fall 2017.

SUMMARY:Smart City Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nBuildings in cities consume 30-70% of the total primary energy. There are opportunities to reduce city building energy use by 30 to 50% using currently available technologies. This talk presents several research projects on smart cities funded by US Department of Energy\, including the exascale computing project multiscale coupled urban systems. The talk will cover recently developed data\, tools\, and case studies to support cities’ building energy efficiency programs. Challenges of data integration\, modeling and simulation of buildings at the city scale will be discussed. \nDr. TianzhenDr. Tianzhen Hong is a Staff Scientist and Deputy Head of Building Technology Department of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). He is co-leading the urban systems initiative at LBNL\, an operating agent of IEA EBC Annex 66 on occupant behavior in buildings\, and an editor of Energy and Buildings.
