Elodie Pozzi, Ph.D. 
Elodie obtained her Ph.D. in Mathematics in 2011 at the University of Lyon, France, had post-doctoral experience at places like INRIA and the University of Lille, France and became Ma卯tre de Conf茅rences in Mathematics at the University of Bordeaux. She came to the US in 2017 and started working at 91制片厂直播 in Fall 2017 as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. While teaching and mentoring, Elodie noticed how much many students, in particular from underrepresented groups underestimate themselves, have a lack of confidence, and this can impact their academic paths and future. Elodie is excited to be a DEI Teaching Fellow as it will provide her the opportunity to share her experience as a past female student in Mathematics and now as a faculty to help students and faculty build more confidence and to learn new methods to create a more inclusive learning environment.
