Presented by Elizabeth Leake.
Elizabeth Leake is the director of research computing at Boise State University in the U.S. Since 2008, she has served as an external relations consultant, international correspondent and advocate for the high-performance computing and open source communities. In 2012, she founded STEM-Trek, a global, grassroots, nonprofit organization that supports scholars from regions and demographics that are typically underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics academics and careers. As a program director, Leake has mentored hundreds of early-career professionals who are breaking cultural barriers in an effort to accelerate scientific and engineering discoveries.
She will talk about STEM-Trek’s genesis and the amazing scholars she has had the honor to serve along the way.
