Biography
Statement
It is an honor to be a part of Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Honor Society Inc. I have been a member of this esteemed organization for past several years. Being a mid career professional myself, it would a pleasure if I can contribute to this prestigious society. As a starting point, I have served as the representative on the nominations committee. Earlier, I have been an active participant of several organizations like member of Disaster Action Team (DAT) for American Red Cross, current Chair of ECD (Engineering Ceramics Division) ACerS, Program Committee member of ACerS and TMS, Elected member of Faculty Senate in University of North Dakota (UND), award committee of ECD of ACerS, and Robert L. Coble Award for Young Scholars (ACerS). I have also successfully organized several Symposium in international conferences (details in the biography). In addition, I have management training from U Mass, Amherst (MBA). I believe, I have excellent background to be a highly successful Director for the North West Region. If elected, I will be an excellent team member, and would like to 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.
