The Lyles College of Engineering at Fresno State, Eta Kappa Nu -Honor Society for Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Valley Industry Partnership (VIP) for Cooperative Education program welcomes Daniel Castro, Patent Attorney, Entrepreneur, and Founder and CEO of OppJar! Friday, October 9 12 to 1 p.m. Zoom Webinar... Registration Required: https://bit.ly/techtalksdanielcastro Daniel Castro is a patent attorney and entrepreneur. He has lived in Fresno since 2008, but grew up in East Los Angeles, where he graduated from Garfield High School. While in high school, Daniel was part of the Jaime Escalante Math & Science Program from which the movie "Stand and Deliver" is based. He received both a Bachelor's Degree and a Master's Degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he majored in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. While at MIT, Daniel had the privilege of taking a course with Dr. Amar Bose (audio pioneer and founder of the Bose Corporation) who mentored him and recommended that he merge his love for technology and writing by pursuing a career in patent law. Soon thereafter, Daniel attended and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, where his studies focused on patent law and various other aspects of intellectual property. Daniel has worked in the patent field for over 20 years and is currently a partner at the law firm of Loza & Loza. He has represented several Fortune 500 companies including Microsoft, AT&T, and Qualcomm. Daniel is also the CEO of OppJar, which is a Fintech startup he recently co-founded with classmates from MIT and UC Berkeley to address the country’s wealth gap problem in which an unacceptable number of kids enter adulthood with little or no savings.

Even through our smallest gestures, we can spread positivity, and help reassure our faith in humanity. Mandeep Singh When Covid-19 hit, mechanical engineering graduate student, Mandeep Singh, worked tirelessly alongside his classmates and faculty in the Lyles College of Engineering to develop and deliver face shields to healthcare workers. While production of face shields continued at the Fresno State campus, he and his peers worked from home on their own 3D printers pro...totyping and testing FDA-approved masks. Mandeep’s deep understanding of how engineers can make a positive impact on the world is leading him to new opportunities to think and act beyond himself.
