SERVICE STATEMENT
As part of the trinity of being a professor, I believe that service is an integral part of any profession. I enjoy service that is behind the scenes and at the same time has a quiet service leadership component.
The role of the connected world has helped me do this in more ways than one. From heading a search committee at the departmental level to answering questions from the Numerical-Methods-YouTube-channel subscribers, from being a reluctant keynote speaker at an education conference to facilitating an engineering education workshop, each contribution adds up synergistically in its own way.
