Last year, although it was my first time being a mentor, I was honored to be nominated for the best mentor award in UROP. Here are three things I kept to maintain both good relationship and productivity.
1. Open communication: We establish 30-minute-long weekly meeting to update the progress and discuss next steps. I check whether the tasks sound reasonable, if there is any foreseeable obstacle, and encourage the team members. We also keep a meeting note, where the tasks, progresses, and deadlines are recorded.
2. Open opportunity: We encourage UROP students to explore more opportunities through our project and milestones. GDC, AECT, and NCA are all great venues to showcase your work and network with your future employers.
3. Open possibility: As graduate students, we are willing to learn with you. It is okay to make mistakes, learn from trials and errors, and get unexpected results. That's what being a student means.		 Yes Yes Yes Yes

Through collaborative inquiry, mentees are empowered to ask questions, explore ideas, and challenge assumptions, fostering a deeper understanding of themselves and their work.
In my mentoring approach, I aim to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment where mentees feel comfortable expressing their thoughts, sharing their experiences, and asking questions. By providing scaffolding support and encouraging active participation, I guide mentees in constructing their understanding, developing critical thinking skills, and fostering a growth mindset. Together, we embark on a journey of discovery, exploration, and self-discovery, where mentees are empowered to take ownership of their learning and grow into confident, capable professionals in their chosen field.

Nutrition, Health, Cardiovascular Disease My approach to mentoring centers on fostering student development to help them become independent and self-motivated. I aim to take a hands-on approach early on as students are developing the foundational skills needed to conduct research. My approach will become more hands-off as students progress in their learning to foster independence and critical thinking. Ultimately, my goal is for students to learn how to become curious, how to ask questions, and how to think for themselves. Knowing “how to think” rather than “what to think” is an important skill for academic and research success. Yes Yes Yes Yes

I am excited to introduce this fact to my students. For students coming from other fields, it provides motivation for learning the mathematics. And, for students more knowledgeable about mathematics, it provides an exciting arena for applications of mathematical theory. Working at the crossroads of biology, social science, and mathematics, I strive to make theory engaging and accessible to students coming from different backgrounds. I think that the intrinsic multidisciplinarity of the field is a strength in captivating students. I am enthusiastic about sharing the relevance and scope of theory: how it has and can address our questions, and its applications to and impacts on society. Though most students will not likely take a scientific career, the tools of scientific inquiry, mathematical problem solving, and modelling will be useful throughout their lives.

It is important to find a topic that interests both the mentee and mentor. Since my interests are varied, I work with my mentees to find a topic that they are passionate about and capable completing. The projects can vary a great deal in the amount of mathematics and coding required. Students likely will not have all the required skills. However, if they are willing, I can teach them anything they may be missing. Interest and work ethic are key to success.		 Yes Yes Yes Yes

My goal as a mentor is to provide the right conditions for my mentees to thrive. Examples of how I achieve this are by first and foremost, being available for my mentees to ask questions and get help at the earliest possible. Second, I provide the motivation and the key information for trainees to understand what is the main problem and why it must be solved. Third, I provide my trainees with the career advice they need to that from day one they can start getting feedback of where they can go with their careers. I am cognizant that motivation is an important driver of success because without the right catalyst the smallest challenge ahead will become daunting. Yes Yes Yes Yes

 Faculty N/A National High Magnetic Field Laboratory Solid-state NMR characterization of materials and pharmaceuticals No 2 Chemistry, materials chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, physics, biomedical engineering chemistry, materials science, spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, instrumentation True teachers and mentors are those who enable us to think for ourselves. Undergraduate research provides ample opportunities outside the classroom to apply textbook concepts and to develop creative solutions to real-world problems. We will work practicing the inquiry-based learning approach, asking unexplored questions and designing strategies to answer them. I believe that a firm understanding of the basic concepts is necessary to appreciate advanced applications of the subject. To this end, students in our team will learn to balance carrying out practical experiments along with studying basic chemistry and NMR spectroscopy. Weekly meetings will be scheduled during which time we will review new concepts learnt, evaluate progress made, and make plans. Projects will involve collaborating with research groups across the world, which will the expose the student to new areas of research and work culture. I believe in a transparent and open work culture where students make sustainable progress while feeling comfortable to discuss challenges and prioritize self-care. Yes Yes Yes Yes
