Speakers:
Patricia Hoffman of U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability
Topic: Keynote Speaker
Biography: Patricia Hoffman is the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability at the U.S. Department of Energy. The Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability leads the Department of Energy's (DOE) efforts to modernize the electric grid through the development and implementation of national policy pertaining to electric grid reliability and the management of research, development, and demonstration activities for 'next generation' electric grid infrastructure technologies. Hoffman is responsible for developing and implementing a long-term research strategy for modernizing and improving the resiliency of the electric grid. Hoffman directs research on visualization and controls, energy storage and power electronics, high temperature superconductivity and renewable/distributed systems integration. She also oversees the business management of the office including human resources, budget development, financial execution, and performance management. Before joining the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, Hoffman was the Program Director for the Federal Energy Management Program which implements efficiency measures in the federal sector and the Program Manager for the Distributed Energy Program that developed advanced natural gas power generation and combined heat and power systems. She also managed the Advanced Turbine System program resulting in a high-efficiency industrial gas turbine product. Hoffman holds a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Ceramic Science and Engineering from Penn State University.

Peter Cho, Ph.D of ONR's Global Asia office
Topic: Keynote Speech: Power & Energy for the Future All-Electric Ships
Biography: Dr. C. Peter Cho currently serves as the Associate Director, Electric Machinery, Advanced Materials, Power Generation, and Power Electronic Technologies at ONR's Global Asia office located in Tokyo, Japan. He is responsible for providing a link between US Navy Research Enterprise to overseas academia and global commercial R&D in areas related to Advanced Electric Machinery, Advanced Materials, Power Generation, and Power Electronic Technologies. His S&T/R&D focused area is on Power & Energy and he is supporting a few ONR program officers. Dr. Cho has over 20 years of technical commercial and government experience gained while working at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC), Newport, RI; General Motors/Delco Remy Division, Anderson, IN; ETechno-Group, Inc, Carmel, IN; and Wavecrest Laboratories, LLC, Herndon, VA; Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD), Philadelphia, PA. Dr. Cho's special interest and expertise are evidenced by his contribution to the following programs: high temperature superconducting materials for rotating electric machinery and ship signature reduction technology applications, amorphous nano-crystalline materials for passive component/power conversion systems, future marine expeditionary electric/hybrid ground vehicles, and electrical sliding contact investigations to improve transport current performance of innovative propulsion motor concepts. All of these efforts have been performed in collaboration with well-known and established group of experts at the ONR, Naval Research Laboratory, academia and industries, and the NSWC. Dr. Cho has served on numerous international/domestic conference/symposium organizing committees, chairmanships, and technical paper review panels for IEEE, ASME, ASNE, SAE, as well as the ONR /DARPA IPTs. Currently, Dr. Cho serves on the ASNE technical journal paper committee and is on the SAE technical reviewer committee for EV/HEV drive train technology. He was also technical co-chair for IEEE IES international conferences, 1998 and 2001, and IEMDC conferences 1998, 2000, and 2002. He was Technical Chair and Assistant Chair for Electric Machine Technology Symposium from 1998 to 2006. Currently he is a professional development seminar instructor at the SAE to teach engineers and scientists on the advanced electric motor/generator/actuator and its power electronic controllers. Dr. Cho was awarded a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in 1986 and a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in 1987 from the University of Massachusetts, a Ph.D. degree in Systems Engineering in 1995 from the University of New Hampshire, and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree in 2001 from the Anderson University. He has published more than 50 technical articles and holds 16 United States patents, with over 20 patent applications still pending.
