In a true-life story of campus romance, Andisheh Dadashi and Derek Martinez met at the University of New Mexico, married in 2016, and now teach at their alma mater. According to UNM, the couple recently participated in the 2019 Data Science Training and Collaboration. The two-day workshop held in Seattle, Washington, Sept. 16-17, focused on best practices in teaching data science to students and researchers.
Martinez, a biomedical engineering graduate, is a teaching assistant in the Chemistry Department. Dadashi is an assistant professor of math at UNM-Valencia while pursuing a Ph.D. in computer science. Together, they share combined academic backgrounds in mathematics, statistics, computer science, biology, chemistry, engineering, cognitive science, and public health.
The Data Science Training and collaboration course aims to help “STEM faculty at Hispanic-serving institutions of higher education in the West Region of the U.S. who would like to incorporate data science into their curriculum,” UNM said in a statement.
Education programs focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at Hispanic-Serving Institutions help increase the number of Hispanic and other low-income students attaining degrees in STEM and develop model transfer and articulation agreements between two-year and four-year institutions in such fields.
