Women to Watch: Lifting Humanity From Serious Problems: Scaglione continually adapts and explores new research areas

December 1, 2021 by Leslie Prives

If it seems like Dr. Anna Scaglione has jumped on many different topics in her research, that was by design. “I appreciate people who have the patience to drill down and remain in one area for their scholarly career, but I’ve moved my research interests and work areas quite a bit to develop new expertise, hoping to bring a fresh point of view,” she says. “There may not seem to be a clear logic, but there’s a method to the madness.” She has also been on an interesting career journey in academia, having been a faculty member at four different institutions before landing at Cornell Tech this past fall as a professor of electrical and computer engineering.

The Intersection of Science, Math, and Problem Solving: Centeno working to improve health outcomes

Dr. Grisselle Centeno always knew she wanted to help people. And while she drew on the examples set by family members’ careers, friendly advice, and inspiring mentors, Centeno carved out a career path uniquely her own: one that has allowed her to impact students, patients, women, the Hispanic community, and even, yes, Mickey Mouse.

Back in the Lab: Katehi tackles research in embedded intelligent chips

In the fall of 2019, Dr. Linda Katehi joined the faculty at Texas A&M University as a professor of electrical engineering and computer science. One year in, she couldn’t be happier. Throughout the course of her successful career in academia, Katehi has been dean of engineering, provost and vice chancellor of academic affairs, and chancellor, but at Texas A&M, Katehi has recaptured the energy of her first teaching position at the University of Michigan. The students are bright and curious. The faculty is engaged. The weather is beautiful. Most importantly, after more than almost two decades of administrative roles, Katehi is back in the research lab and classroom. She continues to be a mentor and advocate for women in science, technology, engineering, and math while embarking on new research in embedded intelligent chips that could change the way we interact with technology.

Engineering the Magic

When the Enchanted Tiki Room opened at Disney-land in Anaheim, Calif., in 1963, it was, by all accounts, thrilling. Inside were dozens of talking flowers, totem poles, and birds-colorful macaws, toucans, and cockatoos-and together they per-formed a musical show by dancing and singing along to tunes like the “Hawaiian War Chant.” Huge crowds visited the attraction, excited to get a look at these early Audio-Animatronics-“audio” meaning that sound triggered a series of mechanisms, like cams and levers, that caused a pneumatic valve to open and close, moving an eye, a beak, or part of the body in time with the music. People loved them.
