I celebrate diversity of thought and prioritize equity and inclusion in all interactions. By fostering a collaborative environment, I support mentees' personal and professional growth, encouraging independence and providing constructive feedback. I believe in promoting learning through inquiry and embracing challenges, helping my mentees grow into confident, capable professionals. Yes Yes Yes Yes

Yes 1 Prefer Political Science majors Trade, labor, international agreements, economics, human rights My philosophy is to provide my mentees with the tools they need to succeed and be there for any questions they may have along the way. I view this as a collaborative experience and want to make sure my mentee can take the knowledge acquired here and apply it in many different aspects of their lives. Although this will be a collaborative project, I do expect mentees to take ownership and pride in their work. We will work as a team and not through a hierarchical structure. I encourage mentees to be open about their ideas, how they think they might improve the project, or to share their unique perspectives along the way. Importantly, I want my mentees to know that it is okay to fail. We only learn when we fail, and the goal of this project will be to help students get a taste of an original research project with real-world impacts. I do not expect mentees to have much research experience when they join, so I am aware there will be a learning curve in the process. However, when we are finished, I believe the mentees will be able to confidently present their findings during the UROP poster session and use their newfound knowledge in their future endeavors.

Yes 2 psychology, neuroscience, criminology/criminal justice social psychology, race, harm, electric shock, perceptions, prejudice, stereotypes I want my mentees to get the most out of their UROP experience. I try to involve them in most, if not all, of the steps in the research process (i.e., literature review, brainstorming and creating the method, collecting data, analyzing and interpreting data, communicating results). I take a hands-on approach, at least in the beginning on my mentorship, so that my mentees never feel as if they were thrown into something without training. Mentees can expect to train with me on how to conduct themselves as a confederate, the behind-the-scenes of the current project (i.e., the computer programing), how to troubleshoot, how to interpret data, and how to communicate the results effectively via a poster and/or talk presentations. After training, communication will always be open, as our lab communicates via Microsoft Teams. Mentees are expected to ask questions when they do not feel 100% comfortable with the tasks they are responsible for. My goal for my mentees is to learn while doing, but to never feel like they were “thrown to the wolves”. I take pride in mentoring research assistants, as I think diving into the research experience is the best way to learn what you as a student are interested in (and may even not interested in).

I try to meet students where they are, while also giving them opportunities to grow, hoping that they will complete their coursework or research project with me more skilled and more confident about reading literature than when they had first arrived. One question that informs all my teaching and mentoring is what literature can reveal about the human imagination, and I like to explore this question with students either in the classroom or in one-on-one research projects. Research is always an ongoing conversation, so I look forward to developing my own research projects by talking with students and exchanging ideas in a safe, welcoming, and interactive learning environment. Since my proposed research project is all about the experience of reading and finding passages in a work of literature that make us—the common reader—feel something and asking why such passages make us feel that way, there is no "right" answer, so to speak. Everything is on the table, and I am open to all ideas. I am excited to think through this new research project with the help of undergraduate students who enjoy reading. Yes Yes Yes Yes

Fostering the personal and professional growth of those I mentor is paramount, and I aim to provide a positive, supportive, and openly communicative experience for each mentee.

Mentoring is about more than ensuring academic success; it’s about fostering personal growth and development. I encourage my mentees to learn new things, feel safe to express themselves, and view failures as learning opportunities. Through these experiences, I aim to help students develop a strong sense of self and purpose, regardless of whether they follow the same career path as mine or choose a different direction.

In line with my research project, I will provide clear guidance and training on the expected duties and responsibilities of my mentees. This includes ongoing support and feedback as we work together. My goal is to equip my students with the tools and skills they need to succeed in their chosen fields, ensuring they are well-prepared for their future careers.

Creating an environment of inclusivity and respect is central to my mentoring philosophy. I celebrate the diverse backgrounds and voices of my students, ensuring that everyone feels respected and supported. By acknowledging and valuing each student's unique perspective, I foster a collaborative and enriching mentoring experience.

Despite this, I initially struggled with software skills, statistics, and publication writing in my early PhD years. Having faced and overcome these challenges, I know how daunting the start of a research work can be. It was my excellent mentors helped me overcome these challenges. Their kindness showed me the transformative power of compassionate mentorship and shed light to my mentoring philosophy. I understand my mentees’ needs and aim to make their experience even better than mine.

My mentoring philosophy centers on fostering a safe environment where students can explore their research ideas and grow professionally and personally. I prioritize a student-focused, flexible, and respectful approach, aiming to create a supportive and inclusive atmosphere that values effectiveness over rigid working hours. I see myself as a supporter rather than a leader of my mentees’ research journeys, encouraging them to develop their own ideas with constructive feedback and resources. I believe productivity and effectiveness are more important than fixed working hours. Respecting each mentee’s unique contribution, I ensure fair authorship and credit distribution in collaborative projects. Ultimately, my goal as a mentor is to build strong, supportive relationships that extend beyond academic achievements, helping mentee navigate their professional and personal development.

Machine learning, computer vision, commercialization Teamwork is an important aspect of the lab, collaboration is key.
A Peloton is a small group of professional bicyclists riding together. Peloton teamwork is thrilling to witness. Each rider take a turn at the front of the pack, peddling as hard as possible for as long as they can endure. As they tire, their legs slow, the second rider in the Peloton takes lead and starts to pedal hard, taking the lead. The mass of the riders creates a wind vortex (draft), that follows the pack. As each lead cyclist runs out of energy, their retreat is to the rear, where they can rest, pulled by the draft of the other team members, without any peddling. Each member of the team moves up the Peloton line to become the lead rider and drops back when their best effort is exhausted.
No matter how ambitious (or how strong) a single cyclist might be, one cyclist cannot catch or outrun a collaborative group. In the MLab, we each make a contribution to the work at hand. Sometimes we lead, other times we (the Peloton) support others as they lead. We respect collaboration and team effort.

Balance of Effort and Reflection: While I emphasize hard work, I also recognize the importance of reflection. I guide mentees to thoughtfully consider their efforts and ensure their hard work is directed effectively.
Community and Collaboration: Hard work is a collective endeavor. I encourage mentees to support each other, work together, and foster a sense of community and shared purpose.
Through this mentoring philosophy, I aim to cultivate a robust work ethic and resilient mindset in my mentees, preparing them to tackle complex problems and achieve their goals through sustained effort and collaboration. This approach supports their personal and professional growth and long-term success		 Yes Yes Yes Yes

I prioritize building a relationship based on mutual respect and trust, encouraging open communication and ownership of work. This foundation promotes accountability and pride in achievements.

I engage mentees by identifying their strengths and areas for development, tailoring tasks to enhance their skills and knowledge. By sharing my experiences, I offer practical insights that complement theoretical learning, creating an interactive environment that encourages dynamic problem-solving.

Understanding individual motivations is crucial. This personalized approach helps me design learning opportunities that are inspiring and achievable, maintaining enthusiasm and commitment. I emphasize the importance of applying theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios, bridging the gap between academic studies and practical application.

A key component of my philosophy is creating a safe space where failures are viewed as essential to learning. I encourage mentees to experiment and learn from setbacks, fostering resilience and a growth mindset. I also advocate for inquiry-based learning, prompting mentees to question and explore, which deepens understanding and nurtures a proactive approach to challenges.

In conclusion, my mentoring approach is dedicated to the comprehensive development of mentees, equipping them with the tools and confidence to succeed both personally and professionally.		 Yes Yes Yes Yes
