Welcome, to episode #5 of our Systems Engineering Unleashed Podcast! We will take an insightful, thought-provoking, and fun peek inside the minds and hearts of our elite engineers. Our guests, Cisco Distinguished Architects Errol Roberts and Craig Hill & our newest 5x CCIE, Lidiya Krunic, will take us on their unique journeys, but you will undoubtedly see a lot in common.
I hope you find that spark to get started on the hard path to being one of the best of the best. Reaching the top in your career journey is the same as summiting that seemingly impossible peak. It starts with the belief you can do it and years of training and hard knocks to make it real. Anything truly worth having is worth the struggle to get it.

While the importance of cybersecurity solutions has been well documented, it is still easy to see the large corporations in the news, and find yourself as an SMB thinking you won’t be attacked.
Unfortunately, the data and reality are a bit harsher. 46% of cyber attacks last year were targeted at businesses with 1,000 or fewer employees, with 60 percent of small companies go out of business within six months of falling victim to cyber attack.
Hope is not lost, and there are both practices and solutions that SMBs can leverage to improve their security posture. To dig into these, today Ian is joined by Nate Haleen, Lead Developer & Division Lead at Procellis Technology Inc. and Tyler Cohen Wood, a keynote speaker, author, national security expert, and overall cyber authority.

Lasers have been around for over six decades. Since their invention, they have found their way into many applications that have changed our lives. Optical communications is of course one of them, and there are many that may surprise you. There is also still plenty of room to take laser performance to new heights, leading to even more new applications. In Episode 43, we conclude our conversation with laser and optics expert Juliet Gopinath, Professor at the University of Colorado Boulder. We wrap it up with her project using Raman spectroscopy to help prevent membrane fouling for freshwater generation. She also describes the motivation behind her Coursera course on Active Optical Devices. – Pat Chou, Cisco Optics Product Manager
Juliet Gopinath is the Alfred T. and Betty E. Look Professor of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering and Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder. She received her B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Minnesota and her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees at MIT. She was a member of technical staff at MIT Lincoln Laboratory from 2005 to 2009. Since then, she has led a research group at the University of Colorado Boulder. Her current research interests include ultrafast lasers, nonlinear optics, mid-infrared materials, spectroscopy, orbital angular momentum and adaptive optical devices. She has published 78 peer-reviewed journal articles and over 97 conference presentations. She is the recipient of an R&D 100 Award (2012) and is an Optica Fellow. She served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Photonics Society Journal (2011-2017), the Associate Director for Cubit (2019), and currently is an Associate Editor for Optica.
