Innovation on Tap: Leonardo Duenas-Osorio, Rice University
2023-04-20 16:00 - 18:00
Join us for talks on disruptive technology, followed by networking with speakers.

S﻿peaker: Leonardo Duenas-Osorio, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Making the Failure of Complex Engineered Systems Rare
As automation, interdependencies and operational uncertainty in engineered systems increase, researchers and industry need new system-level state estimation methods that are efficient and trustable to guide system safety decisions. This talk introduces disruptive algorithms for the practical reliability assessment of existing and future complex engineered systems, which offer exact bounds or guarantees of the quality of their estimates, while easing the burden of proof on investors and stakeholders. In particular, I present how we leverage logic to develop reliability estimators based on one of the simplest operations we all perform: counting. This is in contrast to widely used but less intuitive strategies based on sampling. Our new methods
are scalable, naturally applicable to networked systems, and issue probably approximately correct (PAC) certificates of their quality. Our logic-based formulation also reveals a unique connection to emerging hardware, including quantum computers, to not miss rare-events which carry high consequences if they occur. I end the talk with a prospective account of counting and sampling methods for reliability verification in industry which are consistent with uncertainty quantification and support safety decisions of evolving engineered systems.

We invite attendees to j﻿oin the featured speaker and event attendees for networking at Second Draught after the talk.
I﻿nnovation on Tap: Disruptive Technology Talks with Houston’s Leading Researchers
Industrial innovation is in the DNA of Houston (energy, health, space, and transportation), and the Ion is at the forefront of moving the city to become a technology destination, a central place where we support bold moves that embrace the innovation economy at an industrial scale. The Ion is a place where we accelerate disruption by connecting people and ideas to create a future that will not only change Houston but change the world.
The Ion Innovation on Tap lecture series is focused on bridging world-leading academic research to the broader innovation ecosystem, creating connections and partnerships that will not only accelerate translation and commercialization but form relationships that will drive future fundamental advances needed to address fundamental problems like decarbonization, personalized health care, and create resilient and sustainable livable communities.
Examples of disruptive technology include but are not limited to AI and machine learning, robotics, synthetic biology, neuro-engineering, nano-materials, cyber security, imaging, blockchain, and quantum computing.
The lecture series will feature leading researchers spanning engineering, science, and design, showcasing advanced technology and innovation from academic research labs and programs. Largely inaccessible and buried in journals and conference proceedings, technology will be presented in an accessible TED-style lecture format with ample networking opportunities. The disruptive technology lecture series will serve as a magnifying glass connecting fundamental technology to people and organizations that can benefit and help activate technology through commercialization. More than that, the lecture series will serve as a front door for collaboration between researchers and industry partners and/or the formation of new technology startups that will help establish Ion and Houston as a global hub for innovation.

Angel Investing 101
2023-04-20 17:30 - 18:30
Join this informative presentation and Q&A regarding due diligence of angel investment opportunities.

Join the Urban Capital Network for an informative presentation and Q&A regarding due diligence of Angel investment opportunities.
As an angel investor, before investing in a startup, you might ask:

How do I know when I’ve found the right opportunity?
What are the risks involved?
How much time should I spend evaluating the opportunity?

Assessing and evaluating a company before it has revenue is a difficult task. There are no agreed-upon or standard approaches, unlike companies that have a longer track record with historical financial statements, assets, and revenue. There are numerous unknowns and risks.
Due diligence is not about eliminating risks but rather an exercise to spot and avoid the obvious pitfalls, understand the risks, gather information to support your valuation, and ultimately negotiate your terms.
In this session of the education series “Angel Investing 101,” the team at Urban Capital Network will present and discuss the role and principles of diligence and risk assessment when evaluating an early-stage company.
During the session, you can expect to learn the following:

Key diligence focus areas and principles
What to look for and ask during due diligence
How to avoid common mistakes
How to develop a process to improve your chances of success

Ion Open Accelerator: Visual Storytelling & Presentation Design
2023-04-24 10:00 - 12:00
Join us for a workshop on Visual Storytelling & Presentation Design for Systems Change.

In this hands-on class, participants will learn how visual communication and storytelling frameworks enable professionals to discover, brainstorm, prototype, develop, and effectively communicate complex ideas. In addition, we will explore how visual communication and graphic visualization can help you better present ideas effectively to customers, co-workers, and investors.
Explaining yourself, your business, or a complex technical or social issue can be challenging. We have all suffered through meandering presentations with poorly designed PowerPoint slides. So how can we shift from a typical presenter to a compelling storyteller and use visuals effectively?
In this hands-on workshop, we will address these common questions:

What are the basic building blocks of “storytelling,” and why are organizations identifying it as a core leadership skill?
How can we better understand the needs, limits, and goals of your audience?
What are some techniques for planning an engaging and effective presentation?
What are some basic rules of visual communication?
What can we learn from engaging presenters that will improve our everyday communication?
What models exist for explaining complex topics and inspiring action?
