Over the 30 years I have been at OSU, I feel my most significant accomplishment has been in mentoring young people into careers in science and engineering. I have had over 300 UG high school students participate in my research lab. My high school summer residential engineering camp has had over 1050 participants since 1997. I served for 12 years as the Director of OSU Precollege Programs and established many STEM Outreach and diversity programs. Working with young people in research projects of social significance is why I came to OSU and why I don’t plan to retire anytime soon!
