I am the President of Coughlin Associates and a storage analyst and consultant. I have over 40 years in the data storage industry with multiple engineering and management positions. I have many publications and six patents to my credit.
I just completed an IEEE trip in Africa. I visited three countries. They were Tunisia , Kenya and South Africa . I was impressed with the energy and enthusiasm I saw with the IEEE volunteers in Africa. I believe that Africa offers a great opportunity for IEEE , both to pursue IEEE ’s mission of advancing technology for humanity and for helping IEEE get and retain more younger members.
On my first day in Tunisia, I visited Novation City in the city of Sousse. This is a technology incubator with several local companies hosted there, including early phase technology start-ups as well as some more established companies. The CEO of Novation City, Hichem Turki, said that among other developments, they are working with NVIDIA to enable AI development capabilities in the country and he showed me NVIDIA equipment in their data center.
I also spoke to student branches on why they should look at the IEEE as their professional home as well as speaking about creating a more diverse and inclusive IEEE to a Women in Engineering, WIE, event. I also gave a short talk to local teams for the IEEE Xtreme 24 hour coding competition on October 26.
