Upskilling of oil and gas professionals in the digital era is a topic everywhere, including the Caribbean island economies. Upskilling means the acquisition of new knowledge and skills, and in digital, this means topics such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, app development, and sensor technology. It's tough enough to acquire new capabilities and stay current in big metropolitan centers. Imagine the challenges in smaller oil and gas producing economies, such as those found in the Caribbean. On-line and distance learning help, but that's not enough. The formal education sector has to play its role, as does industy. But how does this happen? In this podcast, I'm in conversation with Hamlyn Holder, a sessional lecturer with the University of the West Indies and an employee of the oil and gas industry, based in Trinidad and Tobago, one such oil production nation in the Caribbean. Hamlyn has over 20 years of both upstream and downstream engineering experience with nearly a decade of this time dedicated to serving Methanex Trinidad Ltd. Methanex Corporation is the world's largest producer and supplier of methanol to major international markets in North and South America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Methanol is a clear liquid chemical used in thousands of everyday products, including plastics, paints, cosmetics, and is a clean-burning, cost-effective alternative fuel. As the Site Reliability Engineer, he ensures the optimal functionality and performance of critical plant assets and is committed to continuous improvement and innovation in the asset management of their methanol plants and air separation units. He currently serves as a Lecturer at the University of the West Indies, Engineering Faculty and also at the Caribbean Institute for Quality training the Caribbean workforce in ASQ courses such as Six Sigma Black Belt, Quality Management and Reliability Engineering. He holds a Master's in Engineering and Asset Management from the University of the West Indies, is CAMA Certified and co-founded Cube Root Farms, a company that helps local farmers, schools and communities to adopt modern smart and sustainable agricultural techniques.

Giuseppe is president at Red Cat Holdings ($RCAT) and founder of Skypersonic, which builds drones that can inspect and survey sites in high-risk, confined, or GPS-denied locations. Skypersonic's product enables remote operators to fly drones indoors 100% remotely and over the internet. Previously, Giuseppe was responsible for the development of projects on behalf of the European Space Agency at Thales Alenia Space, and has been involved in development of space systems used at NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA). He studied Astronautical Engineering at the University “La Sapienza di Roma” and he achieved the Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) at Engineering Faculty of Catania. What's the space angle? Skypersonic just recently completed a 15-day set of testing its drone at Mt. Etna, an Italian volcano with Martian-esque terrain. Pilots in Houston flew Skypersonic's drones to demonstrate the feasibility of the technology in a Mars-like environment. In 2021, NASA awarded Skypersonic a five-year contract to provide drone and rover software, hardware, and services/support for the US space agency's simulated Mars mission. 0:00 - Introduction 4:27 - Giuseppe got into space at a very young age. Also, Ryan asks the question we've all been dying to know… Star Trek or Star Wars? 6:34 - The Italian space sector and working at Thales Alenia 11:24 - Starting simple…how'd Giuseppe come up with the name “Skypersonic”? 13:13 - The startup's backstory and the art of the pivot 14:08 - 99% of all drones use GPS to fly – Skypersonic is building for the 1% share, and high-risk, highly complex situations and GPS-denied environments. 18:15 - “the pilot is important” 18:46 - A walkthrough of how drones connect to remote operation centers across the world. “Hopefully I can explain in a simple way, even if it's super complex.” 26:32 - Spillovers from technology developed for space, now being used every day down here on Earth 30:57 - Skypersonic's testing of its drones and remote operations at Mount Etna (an Italian volcano with a Martian-esque environment) 39:00 - Potential hiccups with using electrical propulsion systems on Mars. Also, spoiler alert, you can't pilot helicopters on Mars from Earth 41:31 - Getting acquired by Red Cat Holdings, and what it's like being on the management team of a publicly traded deeptech company 46:56 - Does Giuseppe have any advice for the space SPACs that are trying to tough it out in the public markets right now? 49:51 - Just a normal light question on this Tuesday morning: “Are we alone in the universe?” Giuseppe has worked on space telescopes searching for extraterrestrial planets, so we feel he's qualified to answer this question. 52:04 - A once-in-a-generation renaissance and technological revival for space 53:40 - Giuseppe's favorite off-the-radar Italian city

On this episode Ted and Barb welcome a Safety Professional Wyatt Bradbury. Wyatt serves as an HSE Advisor for Hitachi Rail, and as part of the Department of Engineering Faculty and the University of Alabama Birmingham, teaching Professional Ethics and Introduction to Safety Systems for the ASEM program. He has experience in the Aquatics, Construction, and Utility industries. Mr. Bradbury holds a CSP, CHST and CIT Certifications from the BCSP, and a Master of Engineering in Advanced Safety Engineering and Management. He is also an active speaker, participating in numerous conferences, webinars, and podcasts, and he enjoys mentoring other young safety professionals. He also enjoys writing. He recently published two articles in the PSJ on Young Worker Safety and To Teach or to Coach, and is now sharing his observations on the topics. According to Wyatt, young workers are eager to impress and do not understand the impact of their decisions. Safety professionals' support is especially important to small businesses and organizations who employ younger workers, like high school children. To teach them is to provide foundation - information they hear for the first time. Coaching is related to continued development of the skill, to achieve the advanced level of performance. You have to ask yourself what is the goal you're trying to achieve. You cannot coach someone who does not know the basics.   Resources: https://www.healthandsafetynow.com/ (https://www.healthandsafetynow.com) Wyatt on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wyatt-bradbury-31614790/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/wyatt-bradbury-31614790/)

Professor Kerrie Mengersen, Distinguished Professor of Statistics at Queensland University of Technology in the Science and Engineering Faculty, gives the The Corcoran Memorial Lecture, held on 21st January 2021. Abstract: The ability to generate, access and combine multiple sources of data presents both opportunity and challenge for statistical science. An exemplar phenomenon is the charge to collate all relevant data for the purposes of comprehensive control and analysis. However, this ambition is often thwarted by the relentless expansion in volume of data, as well as issues of data provenance, privacy and governance. Alternatives to creating 'the one database to rule them all' are emerging. An appealing approach is the concept of federated learning, also known as distributed analysis, which aims to analyse disparate datasets in situ. In this presentation, I will discuss some case studies that have motivated our interest in federated learning, review the statistical and computational issues involved in the development of such an approach, and outline our recent efforts to understand and implement a federated learning model in the context of the Australian Cancer Atlas.
