In today's episode, I chat with Dr. Leilah Choobineh. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Engineering at SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Utica, New York. She received her PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington. She is passionate about her research on thermal management of things like microelectronics and glass interposer based systems. Even still, she find time to guide the next generation of female engineers that step into her classroom. Women only hold 5% of all Professor in Engineering positions in the United States, so Dr. Choobineh’s story is indeed a valuable one.
