Bio
I am a dedicated educator and mentor deeply passionate about fostering scientific curiosity and innovation. With a background as a Grand Award Judge at the International Science and Engineering Fair, I have guided and evaluated students' STEM projects, fueling their aspirations. At the University of Pittsburgh's School of Engineering, I teach undergraduate and graduate courses, merging theory and application to cultivate a dynamic learning atmosphere. Beyond academia, I thrive on teaching coding skills at hackathons and workshops, promoting hands-on learning and collaborative problem-solving. Guiding research projects for undergraduate and graduate students, I am committed to nurturing future trailblazers. Through initiatives like Girls Rock Science, I aim to bridge gender gaps in STEM, inspiring the next generation of leaders.Project ideas
Simplifying Fiery Reactions with Data
I spearheaded an exciting project called "Simplifying Fiery Reactions with Data" that aimed to make complex combustion simulations easier to understand and work with. Imagine a puzzle where you have to figure out how different things burn and react together. Well, in the world of science and engineering, we use special computer programs to simulate these reactions, which help us design better engines, create cleaner fuels, and even understand how fire behaves. But here's the catch: these simulations can be really complicated and time-consuming. That's where our project would come in! We will use tricks with data to make these simulations faster and simpler, like finding shortcuts in a maze. By doing this, we can unlock valuable insights into combustion and make it much easier for scientists and engineers to study and improve how things burn. It's like making a tough puzzle a whole lot easier to solve, and it's all about making our world safer, cleaner, and more efficient!
