Blog post: Nine Engineers and One Woman
My research focuses on gender equality, equity, and inclusivity in the field of technology. The persistent gender inequality in advancing to leadership positions continues to perplex me. Numerous studies illustrate how merits stick to men.

Stereotypes and a masculine culture keep women in the minority in technology
Attempts have been made to increase the number of women in the field of technology for decades.
