Mentoring Philosophy As a faculty member at FSU, I strive to be an effective instructor and an influential mentor. I believe as a mentor, student success is my success. I have been advising students at all levels in School of Information and other departments. I am the chair of the supervisory committee of 4 doctoral students and a committee member of 21 doctoral students. I am also a member of two Master thesis committees. I have supervised 14 undergraduate students at FSU through the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP). All my mentees will be invited to attend the weekly lab meeting either in person or via Zoom. During these meetings, I will share research updates, upcoming events, and discuss current projects. Many of my students are minorities. Since 2016, my students have published 21 journal papers and 27 conference papers under my supervision. Notably, my UROP student Akhil Shiju (a sophomore at FSU) published a paper with me in the 10th IEEE International Conference on Health Informatics (ICHI 2022). Another student-led collaborative paper won the 2nd place of the Student Paper Competition in AMIA 2019 Annual Symposium. Importantly, with the skills and training experiences, my student mentees have landed promising careers in both academia and industry. In addition, I have been a mentor for junior faculty members at FSU. I will be the primary mentor for one of the six junior tenure-track assistant professors to be hired under the U54 FLORIDA-FIRST Health-Science Brigade program funded by the National Cancer Institute of NIH.
