Tino Nyawelo, a professor (Lecturer) in the University of Utah’s Department of Physics & Astronomy, has been at the U since 2007. In 2012, Tino founded the REFUGES program which supports underrepresented students through an after-school program (grades 7-12) and a summer science “bridge” experience for incoming college freshmen. Tino also Direct the Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) and the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Programs in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
In 1998, Tino obtained his master’s degree in theoretical high energy physics at the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy. He received his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the Free University of Amsterdam in 2004. His main area of research deals with (quantum) field theory, supersymmetry and gravity.

Jeanette Ducut-Sigala, PhD
Dr. Ducut-Sigala has a strong background in biomedical research & leading EDI initiatives in STEM. She earned her PhD from the University of California, San Diego and was a Howard Hughes Research Post-Doctoral Fellow at Stanford University.
Recently, in 2022, Jeanette’s catalytic energy, vision & successful collaboration with faculty, students and administrative leadership helped bring the NIH-NIGMS T32 Initiative for Maximizing Student Development Training grant program for underrepresented Predoctoral students to the University of Utah (IMSD@U2), and InterMountain Postbaccaulaureate (IM-PREP) R25 Program.
It is Jeanette’s passion to foster and support the potential and success of the next generation of innovative scientists and scientific leaders in an environment and culture where diversity and universal inclusion is the default, and not the exception!
