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

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.
