During our 2010-2011 Fulbright year in Hungary, Kathryn Hymes and I founded the Hungarian American Science Mentorship Program for connecting Hungarian high school students, particularly girls, who are interested in science with undergraduate mentors in the USA. If you're a Hungarian high school (gimnazium) student who has any interest in science, an American undergraduate studying science/engineering/math/cs, or are just interested, check out our website. As a recruitment tool for this mentorship program, Kathryn and I have been giving hands-on, one-hour presentations about our research throughout Hungary.

From 2007 to 2010, I was in charge of the NJ Governor's School of Engineering and Technology, a summer enrichment program for up to 100 of New Jersey's top high school juniors. At no cost to the students or their families, our Governor's Scholars lived on Rutgers' campus for a month, took unique and stimulating classes, and conducted research projects with 2 - 4 other students under the tutelage of a professor or engineer. It was a privilege to work with some of the great faculty at Rutgers as well as our awesome summer RTAs to develop a fascinating curriculum. It was an absolutely incredible experience to mentor (and defeat at foosball) such a great group of future engineering leaders. G-What? GSET.

Starting in 2008, I advised two hard-working groups of students from Rutgers' Engineering EOF (Educational Opportunity Fund) program, which comprises engineering undergraduates from educationally and economically disadvantaged backgrounds. I got to know a number of awesome EOF students who will soon be taking the engineering world by storm. I also beat them at foosball, although there are some rumors of a handful of defeats. Those are just rumors, believe me.

From 2008 - 2010, I coordinated the Northern NJ JSHS (Junior Science and Humanities Symposium), a science research fair for high school students. Congrats are in order for the awesome young researchers who gave great talks at both our regional as well as the national level.

In Spring 2010, I worked closely with the honors engineering students at Rutgers. This collaboration included the honors seminar on home automation. I also had the chance to work with a group of students starting a Theta Tau chapter at Rutgers, as well as a robotics club. In short, my job was great.
