Spring Energy Systems Workshop

Calling all innovators, creators, problem-solvers, and environmentalists! The School of Engineering & Applied Science is partnering with Schneider Electric on an eight-week workshop series exploring and developing solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Focusing on technologies for the built environment, the workshops will be centered on the buildings sector and the nexus of digital, sustainability, and energy.

An information session will be held on MON DEC 5 from 5:00-6:00 PM in the Yale Center for Engineering Innovation and Design (15 Becton Street) to learn more about the workshop series and design challenge. The session will also be broadcast on ZOOM at 768-922-8244.

You will work with a team to develop solutions to address a real-world problem provided by Schneider Electric based on optimizing energy use within commercial buildings. Your team’s innovations will consider energy, carbon, and data flows for buildings and new paradigms for efficiency, solar panel remuneration, and smart controls. Teams will work with an energy user database and use this information to garner insights on the optimal use of energy for building archetypes within specific geographic regions. The results will be presented to a panel that includes members from Yale and Schneider Electric.

For this workshop, you can apply as an established team or as an individual that will be assigned a team during selection process. Don't worry if you have not yet identified a team-- you will be able to network with potential team members to form teams of interest during the information session on December 5th. We envision that competitive teams will include students from SEAS (including CS students), Yale School of the Environment, and the Yale School of Architecture.

The workshop series will include eight lectures hosted on Monday evenings from 5-7pm during the 2023 Spring Semester, including sessions with industry experts and visionaries. These lectures will give you the foundational knowledge and skill sets needed to create successful projects. You will be expected to meet with your team outside of this lecture time for at least two hours per week to discuss and deliver solutions. Twenty students will be selected by January 23 to participate in this innovative workshop. If you feel inspired to find solutions to big problems, we invite you to fill out this form expressing your interest.

Eli Lilly Postdoc Position

Eli Lilly’s New Therapeutic Modalities Group in Cambridge, MA is hiring for a postdoctoral fellow on a high-impact project that leverages emerging technologies in the fields of drug delivery, neuroscience, and nucleic acid therapies.

The postdoc will lead the investigation of a novel approach to leveraging nucleic acid therapies for the treatment of neurological diseases. The opportunity is highly multidisciplinary and collaborative; the postdoctoral fellow will establish working relationships across the Lilly organization (e.g., Neuroscience Next Generation Therapeutics team, the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics groups, and Drug Delivery and Devices teams). They are also expected to gain the technical and leadership skills to develop innovative, translational technologies and drive their progress to clinical evaluation.

Notably, the project is a collaborative effort with a local academic and medical institution. Through these partnerships, the postdoc will have diverse mentorship and gain additional expertise (particularly in formulation development tailored to nucleic acid delivery and cutting-edge surgical techniques).

Feel free to pass along my email (samantha_sarett@lilly.com) to interested students. I would be happy to plan informal conversations to share further details about the project.

Thank you in advance for your time and help and please let me know if you have any additional questions!

The Yale Mentorship for Minority Students in STEM (YMMSS)

The Yale Mentorship for Minority Students in STEM (YMMSS) is a new program that aims to establish mentorships for underrepresented students (racial/ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ students, students with disabilities, etc.) in STEM at Yale. By facilitating mentorship connections, we hope to encourage students from traditionally underrepresented groups to persist in STEM and STEM-related fields. Mentors and mentees will be paired such that first-years and sophomores are matched with junior and senior mentors, and juniors and seniors are paired with graduate student mentors. We hope to match students that share similar identities or fields of interest, based on what the mentors and mentees prefer.

We’ll be matching students based off of their responses to this Google Form, which can be filled out at any time of the year. An initial batch of responses will be collected on the 23rd of April so as to be able to put mentors and mentees in contact before the end of the semester.
