pioneer in Emotion AI, Rana el Kaliouby, Ph.D., is Co-Founder and CEO of Affectiva, and author of the newly released book Girl Decoded: A Scientist’s Quest to Reclaim Our Humanity by Bringing Emotional Intelligence to Technology. A passionate advocate for
humanizing technology, ethics in AI and diversity, Rana has been recognized on Fortune’s 40 Under 40 list and as one of Forbes' Top 50 Women in Tech. Rana is a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader and a Young Presidents' Organization member, and co-hosted
a PBS NOVA series on AI. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge and a Post Doctorate from MIT.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

a captivating memoir, an Egyptian-American visionary and scientist provides an intimate view of her personal transformation as she follows her calling – to humanize our technology and how we connect with one another. Rana el Kaliouby is a rarity in both the
tech world and her native Middle East: a Muslim leader and CEO, a woman in charge in a field that is still overwhelmingly white and male. Growing up in Egypt and Kuwait, el Kaliouby was raised by a conservative father who valued tradition – yet also had high
expectations for his daughters – and a mother who was one of the first female computer programmers in the Middle East. Even before el Kaliouby broke ground as a scientist, she broke the rules of what it meant to be an obedient daughter and, later, an obedient
wife to pursue her own daring dream. After earning her PhD at Cambridge, el Kaliouby, now the divorced mother of two, moved to America to pursue her mission to humanize technology before it dehumanizes us. The majority of our communication is conveyed through
non-verbal cues: facial expressions, tone of voice, body language. But that communication is lost when we interact with others through our smartphones and devices. The result is a digital universe that’s emotion blind. To combat our fundamental loss of emotional
intelligence online, she co-founded Affectiva, the pioneer in the new field of Emotion AI, allowing our technology to understand humans the way we understand one another. Girl Decoded chronicles Rana el Kaliouby’s journey from a “nice Egyptian girl” to a woman
carving her own path as she revolutionizes technology. But decoding herself – learning to express and act on her own emotions–would prove to be the biggest challenge of all.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

for women, and children. In her native Swat Valley, they had banned girls from attending school. I personally cannot imagine a situation like this in our world where disparities and inequities such as these are severely pronounced and affect women. She was
shot in the head by the Pakistani extremist group in retaliation for her advocacy efforts. Once she recovered (thankfully), she continued the advocacy efforts on a much greater level. She is an example of someone who showed extreme grit and advocacy especially
during adversary and I really admire her for it. </span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk56418093"><span style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

and have the opportunity to be a part of the planning committees for various events organized through gwaMIT. For instance, I spearheaded the IAP movie night series along with IDM department reps - Angelica Chincaro and Amruta Killada and we had a fun time
where we watch the movie "Prom". We are planning to host more such events. For the leadership conference, I got the opportunity to be the event planner and moderator for the Science and Policy: Fireside chat keynote session with Dr. Maria Zuber, and in the
process, learn't a lot about event planning and organization through the gwaMIT leadership conference chair - Richa Naik. Finally, I am on the planning committee for increasing Stem opportunities for womxn in underrepresented communities and worked with Taylor
Baum, another gwaMIT exec member. We partnered with Black Girls Code event where we planned a series of lab tours and sessions. In addition to the gwaMIT activities, I also serve as the C-Rep for GSC DEI and it is a great networking opportunity to meet wonderful
graduate womxn at MIT. </span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk56418093"><span style="color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

biochemistry. Our group is currently focusing primarily on long molecular dynamics simulations involving proteins and other biological macromolecules of potential interest from both a scientific and a pharmaceutical perspective. An integral part of our effort
consists of designing and developing custom hardware and software to carry out this research. We are also pursuing drug discovery programs, leveraging the insights enabled by our novel technologies to focus on drug targets that span a range of therapeutic
areas. Our team includes computational chemists and biologists, computer scientists and applied mathematicians, and computer architects and engineers, all working collaboratively within a tightly coupled interdisciplinary research environment under the leadership

feel like the next steps after college are ambiguous, especially when undergraduate colleges lack graduate programs. Smith is one of the largest women’s colleges in the United States, with students from 48 states and 68 countries. Unfortunately, Smith does
not have STEM doctoral programs on campus and thus students lack access to learning about life as a PhD student researcher.
</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk56418093"><span style="color:black;letter-spacing:.15pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><br>
<span style="background:white">Thankfully, there are programs at Smith that do foster a sense of community in STEM. The AEMES (Achieving Excellence in Mathematics Engineering and Sciences) Program was built to support the success of women from historically
underrepresented backgrounds in STEM-related education. In addition to peer-mentorship, this program provides funding to support paid research experiences so that fellows can perform research as their work-study job to build competitive applications for graduate
school. </span><br>
<span style="background:white">We are starting a chapter of mentorship within HGWISE and the Harvard Biotech Club where PhD graduate students will be mentees to Smith AEMES fellows. We are surveying your interest (as a current PhD student or member of the private
sector) in being a mentor in this future program. The exact nature of your virtual mentorship meetings would be scaled to your specific needs, mentors can host a mentorship meeting ranging from monthly or bi-monthly depending on personal capacity given your
other responsibilities. </span><br>
<span style="background:white">In addition to the Harvard <> Smith mentorship program, will invite AEMES fellows to the virtual events hosted by Harvard graduate student organizations. These events will help undergraduates understand what the life of a STEM
PhD student looks like, professional options available after getting a PhD, and attend panels from leaders across many different STEM related fields.
