University of Utah Science & Engineering Fair (USEF)

About Jody:

Jody is an Academic Program Manager who has been at CSME since 2010. Her effort is dedicated to managing the University of Utah Science & Engineering Fair (USEF). Since taking over USEF in 2005, Jody has more than tripled the number of student finalists, created a Student Advisory Board, and mentored over a hundred high school students. The fair achieved official University of Utah status in 2017. USEF is unique among regional science fairs in the number of outreach programs it offers and is proud to have several top winners at the International Science and Engineering Fair.

Jody’s area of expertise is organization and program management. Before bringing USEF to CSME, Jody managed the science and engineering fair at The Leonardo, where she traveled with Leonardo on Wheels. She has also worked with at-risk youth at an online mentoring company and was previously employed by a local private school.

About Tino:

I am a Professor (Lecturer) of Physics and Astronomy at the Department of Physics & Astronomy, and has been at the University of Utah since 2007. I received my B.Sc. with honor in Physics in 1996 at Sudan University of Science and Technology, Khartoum, Sudan. In 1998, I obtained my master’s degree in theoretical high energy physics at the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy. I earned a PhD in theoretical physics from the Free University of Amsterdam in 2004 under the direction of Prof. Jan-Willem van Holten with my thesis on Non-linear field theory with supersymmetry: Hydrodynamics and sigma models.  I then conducted postdoctoral research at ICTP, and later at the University of Utah.
