The Myers-Briggs Type Inventory ( MBTI ) is a career assessment tool that will allow you to discover your preferences in perceiving the world and making decisions. This session will require you to take the MBTI assessment tool in advance of the session, and our results will be presented and discussed by a licensed MBTI coach.

Project Management - We will delve into traditional project management tools for aligning team members, managing schedules, creating and tracking budgets, and defining scope. In addition, we will explore the latest trends in Agile project management which can be better for projects with higher degrees of uncertainty and frequency of change.

Please register HERE :

* Max. # of 20 for each event

International Networking - At the end of this program you will feel more comfortable with both face-to-face and virtual networking experiences. You will also learn how to turn everyday encounters with other professionals into opportunities for your career.

hases of CuHT(S) and its analogs, CuHT(Se) and CuHT(Te) on the basis of density functional calculations. We found bulk phases showed superior power factors than the single phases, which is comparable with best organic TE candidates, PEDOT and poly[Kx(Ni-ett)], reported by experiments. The non-parabolic CBM of CuHT(Se) along the a direction can decouple the transport quantities, Seebeck coefficients and electrical conductivity to achieve the highest power factor among all candidates.
