Dr. Matilde Sánchez-Peña is an assistant professor of Engineering Education at University at Buffalo – SUNY where she founded and leads the Diversity Assessment Research in Engineering to Catalyze the Advancement of Respect and Equity (DAREtoCARE) Lab. Her research focuses on three interrelated areas. First, exploring dominant cultures and narratives existing in engineering spaces with respect to health and well-being, including issues of mental health, with the goal of informing cultural changes that make space for a more holistic view of engineering as a field. Second, challenging the methodological frontiers for assessing gains in diversity, equity, and inclusion at universities using complex systems theories and methods from engineering and the social sciences, with the goal of highlighting areas of opportunity for institutions to address injustices to marginalized groups. Third, studying how to teach data science concepts effectively, and how to use them as a tool to enhance the training of socially responsible engineers.
