DESCRIPTION:We invite you to attend the Virtual STEMM Panel where you’ll be
  able to hear inspiring stories from Latino/Hispanic students and leaders 
 in government\, industry\, and academia throughout the Ohio Miami Valley. 
  Learn about the amazing career opportunities in Science\, Technology\, En
 gineering\, Math\, and Medicine\, and be encouraged by the incredible inte
 rnship and scholarship opportunities for STEMM students.\n\nAttendees can 
 participate by phone\, tablet\, or computer.  Panelists will offer a brief
  introduction and then engage with questions\, answers\, and discussion ab
 out entering the STEMM professions\, developing a rewarding career\, and m
 ost importantly\, bringing up the next generation. \n\nPanelist Biographie
 s:\n\nAurea Rivera\, Riverside Research – Ms. Rivera is Senior Technical P
 roject Manager at Riverside Research.  In 2013\, following a highly distin
 guished career with the US Air Force where she retired a Senior Leader\, s
 he launched Imagineering Results Analysis Corporation that applies enginee
 ring\, science\, and information technologies to a variety of applications
 .  She is a staunch proponent of STEMM and can always be found coaching an
 d mentoring young engineering students.  Ms. Rivera also holds multiple ce
 rtifications in project management and is a registered Professional Engine
 er in the State of Ohio.\n\nMiguel Maldonado\, US Air Force Research Lab (
 AFRL) – Mr. Maldonado currently serves as special Liaison for the US Air F
 orce Research Lab to Headquarters\, Air Combat Command.  He previously ser
 ved as the Chief of the Fuels and Energy Branch of the Propulsion Director
 ate at the Air Force Research Lab.  Miguel also led the Air Force Research
  Lab’s Diversity Council\, served as Region 6 Vice President of the Societ
 y of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE)\, and co-founded the Southwest
  Ohio Professional chapter of SHPE.\n\nDr. Silvia Newell\, Associate Profe
 ssor\, ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ – Dr\, Newell has a Ph.D. in Geosciences fr
 om Princeton University and did a postdoc at Boston University. She has wo
 rked on the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen in aquatic environments fro
 m the Gulf of Mexico and the Arabian Sea to Lakes Erie and Taihu. Currentl
 y\, her work at Wright State focuses on nitrogen as a driver of harmful al
 gal blooms in eutrophic Lake Erie\, Lake Okeechobee\, Lake Taihu (China)\,
  and Estonian lakes\, as well as local research on the Great Miami River a
 nd Ohio wetlands. She is the President of the Lake Erie Area Research netw
 ork and the co-Chair of the Great Lakes HABs Collaborative.\n\nDr. Samuel 
 Rivera\, Research Engineer\, Matrix Research\, Beavercreek – Dr. Rivera sp
 ecializes in problems of machine learning and pattern recognition. After g
 raduating as an Electrical Engineer from The Ohio State University in 2012
 \, he spent two years as a postdoctoral researcher studying cognitive deve
 lopment and the mechanisms underlying concept and language learning. He no
 w does applied research within the industry that leverages his machine lea
 rning and data science expertise.  \n\nDr. Megan Rúa\, Assistant Professor
 \, Biological Sciences\, ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´Â â€“  Dr. Rúa earned a Bache
 lor of Science in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Rice University an
 d a Ph.D. degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She
  completed NSF funded postdocs at the University of Mississippi and the Na
 tional Institute of Mathematical and Biological Sciences in Knoxville\, Te
 nnessee. Her research seeks to understand the ecological and evolutionary 
 processes that structure plant microbial relationships. Research from her 
 lab currently focuses on capturing microbial function to restore degraded 
 soils in both natural and applied settings. She is a 2019-2020 awardee of 
 the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ Presidential Early Career Award.\n\nDr. Michae
 l A. Saville\, Associate Professor\, Electrical Engineering\, ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´
