Kexing a senior member of IEEE, and is currently serving as the chair for IEEE Canada OS Committee.
Connie Parenteau graduated
from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical
Engineering.
Connie led APEGA Council thru the development of APEGA’s new 2017-2022 Strategic Plan and has been fully engaged in the APEGA Legislative Review. She has been a significant driver in APEGA Council’s Governance Renewal which has streamlined the Council Committee structure. Most recently, she served on the APEGA Task Force recommending changes to the Governance System.
She worked for TELUS Communications in Edmonton for over 33 years, where she held a variety of technical, managerial and leadership positions and acted as a Responsible Member for the TELUS Corporation Permit to Practice for more than 15 years.
David Lynch received his
Bachelor of Applied Science in Chemical Engineering from the University
of New Brunswick (1977) followed by a PhD from the University of Alberta
(1982) focused on the areas of catalysis and chemical reactor
engineering. He is Professor Emeritus (Chemical Engineering) at the
University of Alberta following 36 years as a faculty member including
21 years as Dean of Engineering (1994-2015). During his service as Dean,
engineering undergraduate and graduate student enrolments doubled and
quadrupled, respectively, to a total of over 6,000 students with over
18,000 engineering graduates, over 270 new engineering professors were
hired, over 50 Chair positions (endowed, industrial and government
funded) were established, and five large, new buildings were constructed
for engineering education and research.
An active volunteer with the engineering profession, David served on the APEGA Board of Examiners for 21 years and he is currently a member of the APEGA Nominating Committee. He was a member of the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board for 11 years, including serving as the Vice-Chair, Chair and Past-Chair during his final 5 years (2002-2007) on the CEAB. Associated with membership on the Engineers Canada Board, David participates in all APEGA Council meetings.
Dr Fedosejevs' current research interests include:
Application of lasers in material identification sensor applications using techniques such as laser induced breakdown spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and laser induced fluorescence.
Femtosecond generation of x-rays and applications to time resolved x-ray microsocpy.
Femtosecond laser micromachining.
As the Chief Architect, he is presently the technical prime for the Smart Cities Architecture and Strategy for TELUS. Having lead a highly converged architecture from the core of the network to the edge over the past decade+, now he’s rationalizing Smart Cities paradigm leveraging Cloud, IOT, 5G, Virtualization and Softwarization trends, paving the way for a Smarter future.
Carla Otto is the Director
Regional Innovation with Alberta Innovates.
