The New Face of Engineering: Faghih Is Applying Her Research to Make an Impact on People's Lives [Women to Watch]

Abstract

As 2019 came to a close, many people took the time to reflect on the past decade. So much so that the 10-Year Challenge became a phenomenon on social media. Although she didn't participate, Dr. Rose Faghih would have made an inspiring entry: She had an extremely successful, busy decade during which she completed her master's and Ph.D. degrees, evolved her research as both a National Science Foundation (NSF) fellow and a postdoctoral associate, won an IEEEUSA's New Face of Engineering Award, and began a dual role as an assistant professor at the University of Houston as well as director of the Computational Medicine Lab (CML) which is located at the University.
