Meet IEEE-ECCE 2022's Finance Chair, Shanelle N. Foster!

"I am honored to serve as Finance Chair for ECCE 2022 in Detroit, Michigan. In this role, I will take care of the financial affairs." Shanelle Foster, #ecce2022, #energyindustry , #electricalindustry

A Michigan State University professor is developing a type of green motor manufactured using 3-D printing, which eliminates waste at every step of production. Foster says that one way to make the manufacturing process more environmentally friendly is to use what’s called additive manufacturing. This is when something like a motor is made without generating the waste...

Each year, the National Science Foundation’s Faculty Early Career Development Program, or CAREER, awards grants to “early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education.” The following story is part of a series highlighting Michigan State University’s recipients of NSF’s 2021 CAREER grant awards.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way many of us do life, work, and community. The general chair of the IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Expo (ECCE), Dr. Giovanna Oriti, shares how her diverse team is working together to host the largest energy and conversion conference and exposition in a hybrid format. 

Shanelle Foster, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, will apply the versatility of 3D printing and the help of a $500,000 grant to reduce pollution by electric motor-driven systems. The five-year project begins this month.

A researcher at Michigan State University will use a National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award to improve the design of electric motors and generators using 3D printing technologies – and a little inspiration from spiders.

Electrical engineering Professor Shanelle Foster explains to Curious Crew investigator Janellyn what she and her team of research students have learned to improve the quality and longevity of electric motors and generators.

Dr. Foster was the keynote speaker for the 2018 Graduate Women in Science (GWIS) Girls Math & Science Day. GWIS is an interdisciplinary society of scientists who encourage and support women to achieve success in science.
