The Speakers Bureau is a list of individuals who are willing to present information of interest to member societies. These individuals will have been suggested by CTSC members as a result of hearing the presentation or through recommendations they have received regarding the speaker. To arrange for the speaker to address your organization, please contact the speaker directly using the information provided above.
Speakers can be added to the list by providing the information for the three columns in the table above to the CTSC Webmaster, Amy Vogt.

| American Society for Quality | The Lean Initiative Begins in R & D (“3P”)We know the LEAN process finds and eliminates waste through continuous improvement by flowing the product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of perfection. We have applied this to the shop floor and even the office, BUT what about engineering design or research and development? A fifteen step approach for applying LEAN to the Development and Engineering groups is highlighted. Come begin to learn how to apply the power of Kaizen to guide a Cross-Functional Development Team to achieve breakthrough results with advanced ideation and modeling tools. | Marc Kelemen |
| American Society for Quality | Failure Analyses – Everything Breaks, Eventually… Ever wonder why?From spectacular events such as the two space shuttle disasters and the August 2007 bridge collapse in Minneapolis to trivial experiences such as torn coffee filters and broken shoe laces everything seems to break – even our economy!! Some are unexpected and catastrophic; whereas, some are inevitable and merely a nuisance — and some are even an integral part of the design (fuses). |

| American Society for Quality | NanoTechnology – Why size matters & Why should I care?Nanotechnology has been widely heralded as the next big thing. Aspects of nanotechnology have impacted humans since we became aware of ourselves in our familiar middle kingdom. Steven Covey observed as long as there is a legitimate “why”, the “what” doesn’t matter.Nanotechnology uncovers the why in ways the giants of the age of enlightenment could never imagine. The team exercises in this clinic will help participants appreciate size relevance and what that can (and already has) enabled: The dawning of a new understanding enabling ever more powerful engines of creation. | Marc Kelemen |
| Society of Automotive Engineers, American Chemical Society | Fueling Our Future Transportation NeedsConventional transportation fuels are becoming increasingly strained motivating an aggressive search for alternatives, especially alternatives which can be domestically sourced. Our society has diverse energy choices.Biomass, coal, and solar or wind energy are among the resources which can be used to synthesize fuels including hydrogen, alcohols, and conventional type fuels. While availability and cost are critical; safety, environmental impact, storage properties, infrastructure, and national security must be considered. The talk will review past failed efforts to change our fuel sources and assess options for our future. | Bill Chamberlin |
| Society of Automotive Engineers, American Chemical Society | They Don’t Build Automobiles the Way They Used to!Today’s automobiles are more efficient, pollute less, and perform better than previous generations. Bill Chamberlin will look at the technological progress of automotive power systems over the past 40 years.The progress will be supported by performance comparisons of popular vehicles over this time span. From the review and the presenter’s 30+ years direct experience with emerging technologies, future progress in meeting goals of emissions, performance, and fuel economy will be assessed. |

| Society of Automotive Engineers, American Chemical Society | Why So Many Lubricants in Your Garage?Our garages house cars, trucks, and a variety of gasoline powered paraphernalia such as lawn mowers, motor cycles, string trimmers, chain saws, outboard motors, snow mobiles, etc. The owners manual for each item specifies one or more specific lubricants suitable to meet needs. The number of lubricants required to meet the diverse needs in your garage can easily exceed TEN. Is this really necessary?Bill Chamberlin will draw on this 30+ years of lubricant formulating experience to help you understand how these different lubricants function and what you should consider when choosing among the confusing array of products.Mysteries explained include:

| Society of Automotive Engineers, American Chemical Society | Crankcase Lubricant Additives–You Don’t Leave Home Without Them!Throughout the evolution of the automobile, passenger car motor oils have been developed to address issues of wear, corrosion, deposit formation, friction, and viscosity stability. As a result, the internal combustion engines are now developed with the expectation that the lubricants to be used in them will deliver certain performance attributes. Metallurgies, clearances, and built-in stresses are all chosen with certain expectations from the lubricant.The major advances in crankcase lubricant additives were achieved through a combination of extensive research, Edisonian trial and error, dedicated development, and a large dose of serendipity. The presentation review the role of crankcase lubricant additive in solving issues of bearing corrosion, valve train wear, rust, and viscosity stability. Also revealed are some of the behind the scenes events that led to the additives which enabled the improvements in engine oil performance.The development of performance enhancing additives coincided with the development of engine and laboratory test procedures. These procedures have evolved through time and updated versions continue to be used to certify that formulated lubricants meet the escalating demands of advancing engine technology. |

| SAS | Living on a Dusty MoonThe lecture will include a review of known conditions in the lunar environment, why these and other physical properties of dust are important, and how we are evaluating them. The lecture will conclude with the current status of NASA efforts to duplicate the lunar dust environment on earth for testing purposes.

| SAS | Spectroscopy for Kids (and Adults Who Can Behave Like Kids For at Least One Hour)Q. What do a rainbow, Rembrandt’s palette, a light bulb and the fiber optic phone network have in common?A. Come learn about spectroscopy and see the light!In the presentation, we will go from Kindergarten through high school level demonstrations which can be customized for any particular audience level. We will learn interesting acronyms like how to remember the colors of the rainbow and in correct order! We will disperse white light and learn why green is green and red is red.
