Comprehensive Engineering Conference
With four exclusive parallel conference tracks, this year’s IEEE-FW Section MetroCon provides one of the strongest programs ever, allowing the attendee to rapidly grasp the technical and societal implications of some of our most promising and innovative new developments. Each track has been organized in well coordinated morning and afternoon sessions to help achieve maximum exposure in minimum time.
This year's keynote speaker will be Dr. Bhavani M Thuraisingham, the Louis A. Beecherl, Jr. I Distinguished Professor in the Erik Jonsson
School of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Texas at Dallas
(UTD).
She is an IEEE Fellow, holds 3 U.S. patents, and has authored over 100 journal articles, over 200 refereed conference papers, and 10 books covering advanced topics in data mining, security, data mining for counter-terrorism, and database and application security. Her keynote address at MetroCon 2010 will discuss the latest in data mining for cyber-security, data mining techniques for handling postulated threats to national security, and current research challenges in developing techniques for real-time data mining.
Our plenary speaker will be Geeth Chettiar.
Geeth Chettiar is director of Mission Systems and Software for Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Corporation. She has responsibility for leading the functional engineering organization for the mission system software and avionics hardware across LM Aeronautics.
Geeth has served in a number of roles in varying capacities at several Lockheed Martin locations and many business areas during her 21 years at Lockheed Martin. Her most recent technical position was as the Director of the Space Based Infrared Systems Flight Software at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company in Sunnyvale, CA. Her career includes diverse leadership positions in program management, systems and software engineering execution, human resources and new business capture.
Geeth is a graduate of the University of Maryland where she received both her Bachelor of Science and Master of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering. She, her husband and son reside in Fort Worth, Texas.
Four exciting tracks, our plenary speaker, and our lunchtime keynote speaker will make this year’s MetroCon one that will be hard to forget. We hope to see you all there!
