| Professional Cultures and Inequality in STEM
Can the culture of STEM help reproduce inequality? The professional cultures of STEM, which give each discipline its particular “feel” and unite discipline members under a taken-for-granted system of meanings and values, are not benign. Drawing from several NSF-funded survey and interview-based studies, Dr. Cech argues that these professional cultures can have built within them disadvantages for women and other under-represented groups in STEM. Specifically, Dr. Cech discusses the role of three particular cultural ideologies—schemas of scientific excellence, depoliticization and the meritocratic ideology—in producing these disadvantages. Dr. Cech explains why decisions (e.g. admissions, hiring, tenure) that partially rely on assessments of individuals’ “fit” with professional cultures are particularly important to critically examine for their potential to contribute to inequality.

| The Promise of Smart Materials in Earthquake Resistant Design
Damage from recent earthquakes underscores the importance of developing new approaches and technologies to improve the performance of structures during earthquakes. The presentation will highlight applications of one class of smart materials, shape memory alloys, in improving the performance of structures subjected to earthquake loading. Shape memory alloys belong to a class of shape memory materials which can undergo large deformations while reverting back to their original, undeformed shape. This unique property has led to the development of numerous applications in the biomedical, aerospace, and commercial industry. A multi-scale and multi-disciplinary approach is taken to explore the potential use of these systems for applications in earthquake engineering. Component testing, full-scale testing, and detailed analyses show great potential for these systems to significantly improve the earthquake performance of steel-frame buildings, nonductile concrete buildings, and bridges.

Undergraduate Research Assistant in Cyber Risk and Economics
- CISAC
Organizations, both private and public, are persistently under cyberattack. Predicting the attacks and the amount of damage that could be caused by an attack is important to understand how to manage cyber risk. Most studies aimed at calculating risk for cyber focuses on applying existing economic mechanisms such as game theory or statistical techniques such as Bayesian inference to cyber issues. We believe there are characteristics of cyber risk that require new mechanisms to be developed to explain and manage cyber risk beyond traditional tools. Read more.
