Duke MEMS and our Computer Science departments rank among the top 20 nationwide for women in STEM, thanks to a commitment to inclusive education, collaborative research, and visionary leadership. Check out our fantastic array of women faculty in the MEMS department! We work together with colleagues in CS and beyond, like Cynthia Rudin and A. Nicki Washington, Ph.D., to drive systemic change and create supportive environments where women thrive. See news article for full story. Through innovative courses and interdisciplinary research, Duke is not only closing the gender gap but also inspiring the next generation of women leaders in STEM.??? https://lnkd.in/e3ZxmCYq Duke University Pratt School of Engineering

Don’t ever stop learning. Part 1 of 5. I’m fortunate to belong to a Department that invests in its community. Duke MEMS recognizes the importance of professional development, lifelong learning, and continuous scholarly endeavors for all its faculty and staff. I’ll give you a sneak peek of what we’re brewing up, but first…some benchmarking.

As my first semester at Duke University Pratt School of Engineering progresses into its final stages, I want to share with everyone what I've been up to over the past couple of months! First, although the semester has been challenging as I get back into the academic mindset, I've had a wonderful experience here at Duke and am so grateful to be surrounded by such an exceptional community. I want to extend a special thank you to Dr. George Delagrammatikas for helping me and so many others integrate so well into this program, and to the Duke MEMS department as a whole for providing us with so many incredible opportunities! In my classes, I've been getting a multitude of hands-on experiences in mechanical design, robotics, and programming through multiple projects, most notably one where my Capstone team and I are building a climbing robot. Another highlight of the semester was attending the 2024 Society of Women Engineers conference in Chicago, where I and several other women engineers in my program were sponsored to attend! Regarding research work, I have just joined a project with Annika Lindstrom Haughey and the Surgical Education and Activities (SEAL) Lab, which aims to develop a camera-based assessment tool for laparoscopic camera navigation, using SLAM techniques to track movement through a simulated surgical maze. For extracurriculars, I was elected as a Senator for the Duke Graduate and Professional Student Government (GPSG), and as the M.S. Representative on the Engineering Graduate Student Council (EGSC). I have also continued my teaching journey as a TA for the undergraduate Mechanical Design course, and my mentoring journey by becoming a Pratt Peer. I'm so grateful for these experiences and eagerly looking forward to the rest of my journey here! Go Blue Devils!! #DukeMEMS
