Community Outreach

As a faculty member at UAB and a proud participant in the 2022 NNCI Accelerating Impactful Scholarship program, I am fully committed to broadening participation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Through my research and outreach efforts, I strive to explore the social dimensions of emerging technologies and contribute to the development of a competent future workforce.

To foster STEM engagement, we will host Open Lab Days for the Birmingham community, providing an opportunity to gain first-hand insights into (1) why science matters, (2) how research is conducted, and (3) what you can contribute—regardless of background. If you’re interested, feel free to email me at cxu@uab.edu.

Additionally, we are actively exploring innovative ways to disseminate knowledge and technological advances to inspire curiosity and expand possibilities for future generations. If you’re interested in collaborating on community outreach initiatives, I’d love to connect!
