Mariel S. Lavieri

“She allowed me to spend time to think about problems and come up with my solutions, rather than handing me her own solution. Even if my initial ideas were not successful, I learned very much from the process of refining a research approach. Then, Dr. Lavieri guided me through the process of conveying the practical impact and technical significance of a proposed research topic while also providing a clear and structured research plan … This entire process has been especially fruitful, not only in my development as a researcher but also in terms of [fellowship] awards.”
