Ishita Hiremath (she/her)
Hi! I鈥檓 Ishita鈥攁n ever-curious explorer, both in science (PhD Year 2) and in life. Being an army brat shaped my adaptability and appreciation for diverse perspectives. I thrive on change, love discovering new places, and believe that meaningful conversations鈥攚hether over coffee or across cultures鈥攂roaden our understanding of the world. Beyond research, I鈥檓 passionate about fostering inclusive spaces where everyone feels valued and heard. To me, EDI isn鈥檛 just about representation; it鈥檚 about creating environments where different experiences, backgrounds, and voices come together to drive innovation and change.

Aditya Nemana (he/him/il)
Hello! My name is Aditya, and I am a PhD Candidate in Mechanical Engineering. My aspiration is to become a professor, fostering safe and inclusive learning environments for students. I firmly believe that equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) practices should be standard in engineering classes and design as they will contribute to creating a more just society. To that extent, I am working on building learning modules for graduate students to help them better understand the positive impacts of EDI in engineering design. When I鈥檓 not immersed in my 68th midlife crisis of the day or annoying my friends with bad jokes, I find solace in reading and indulging in movies and anime. And yes, my love for animals might just lead me to pet the wrong one someday!
