Should computing professionals fear Generative AI (GenAI) or embrace it? We know that GenAI will soon change the way we work. How can we harness these new AI tools to augment the work we do?

In this session, we will talk about how computing professionals, researchers, and educators can use GenAI effectively. We will discuss GenAI’s impact on jobs and explore how to future-proof ourselves. We will also look at how individuals and companies can build and use enterprise-grade GenAI tools.

Agenda:
(Times are Central Daylight Time)
6:00pm - Brief intros
6:05pm - Talk by Rajendra Shroff
7:45 pm – Q&A
7:00 pm - end

**Event Details**
Dr. Shawn X. Wang will provide an insightful exploration of computational bioinformatics, a field dedicated to extracting, organizing, and interpreting biological data to uncover new insights. Divided into two parts, the presentation will first highlight the transformative impact of computational bioinformatics research on enhancing quality of life and deepening our understanding of biology. In the second segment, Dr. Wang will offer a concise overview of his research endeavors, focusing on innovative algorithms and data analysis techniques applied to protein 3D structures, microarrays, and DNA sequence comparisons. Join us for a cohesive journey into the intersection of computation and biology.

**Speaker**
Dr. Shawn X. Wang is a professor of computer science at Cal State Fullerton. Dr. Wang holds a B.S. in mathematics from Xiamen University, an M.S. in computer science from Fudan University, and a Ph.D. in computer and information science from New Jersey Institute of Technology. His research interests include data mining, big data, cloud computing, bioinformatics, and cybersecurity. Dr. Wang is a member of ACM, ACM SIGMOD, and IEEE Computer Society. He is listed in Who's Who in Science and Engineering and Who's Who in America.

**Co-sponsors**
This event is co-sponsored by the IEEE Orange County Computer Society, SIGAI OC, the IEEE OC Solid-State Circuit Society (SSCS) and the Los Angeles Chapter of the ACM.

**Venue & Parking**
This meeting will be held at the Knobbe Martens' Irvine offices. Parking validation will be provided to attendees.
