I was 1 of 2 scheduled speakers in the last contributed talk session at #SMB2025 & the other didn't show. I'm thankful for the 7 engaged audience members consisting of 3 strangers & 4 friends & for see you later hugs I got today. I love the math bio research community that spans the globe.

We got a door sign for my lab! I never remembered to ask until a staff member recently asked for updates from all the faculty. My hallway has all new lab signs from all the faculty who've joined in the last 6 years. My lab 404 will no longer get "404 not found" messages.

Happy to be working on this dream team project led by Viviana Monje in her NSF RIEF grant on teaching threshold concepts in statistics to ChE using computational notebooks. Matilde Sanchez-Pena and I are co-PIs on the team. Jinhui Li CBE PhD student created the poster & the notebook (QR code).

Throwback to 16.5 years ago at my first Thunder basketball team in the Ford Center during their first season. Oklahoma has loved and supported this team from the beginning. Not just OKC, but the entire state. Awesome for them to win it all at home! #ThunderUp

I will teach Honors Board Games in the fall as a 1 credit class for 1st engineers! I will serve as a UB Honors Faculty Fellow. They want faculty to share passions & connect into the UB community. It's perfect to connect my love for gaming, source of community & strategic skill development.
