Biography
Statement
It is an honor to be a part of Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society Inc. I have been a member of this esteemed organization for past several years. Being an early career professional myself, it would a pleasure if I can contribute to this prestigious society. As a starting point, I served as the representative on the nominations committee. Earlier, I was an active member of the Disaster Action Team (DAT) for American Red Cross, Chair (elect) of ECD ACerS, Elected member of Faculty Senate in University of North Dakota (UND), award committee of ECD (Engineering Ceramics Division) of ACeRs, and Robert L. Coble Award for Young Scholars (ACeRs). I have successfully organized several international conferences (details in the biography). In addition, I have management training from U Mass, Amherst (MBA). I believe I have an excellent background to be a highly successful Associate Director for the Northwest Region. If elected, I will be an excellent team member, and will focus on increasing the value for Sigma Xi for members, student-centric policies, career development of early career professionals, increasing membership, and outreach activities for minorities and under-represented communities.
