Harvard University
16 years of experience
• Research Collaboration & Partnership Models: My specialization includes establishing and managing collaborative research platforms and inter-institutional partnership models. My experience at Harvard University and at the University of Cambridge involved active participation in complex, multi-disciplinary research projects. I have a proven track record in "troubleshooting" common barriers to effective international research, such as communication and resource alignment. My participation in the UN Science, Technology & Innovation Forum (Keynote Speaker, 2016) and the 60th Nobel Laureate Meeting underscores my direct engagement with global research collaboration, effectively "maintaining" and "optimizing" these vital scientific networks.
• Strategic Capacity Building & Training Program Development: I have extensive experience in designing, "installing" (implementing), and "troubleshooting" (optimizing) comprehensive training programs for researchers, faculty, and technical personnel. As an Independent Educational Consultant (2018-present) and through my role as The Queen’s Young Leaders Program Advisor at the University of Cambridge (2014-2018), I have directly designed and implemented mentorship and leadership development programs for young leaders and emerging scientists. My Executive Coaching and Mentoring expertise (University of Cambridge, 2016) allows me to "install" and "troubleshoot" personalized development pathways, equipping individuals with critical skills for scientific leadership and innovation. I have also contributed to science education outreach initiatives (Boston, MA) and the Young Scientist Programme (University of Cambridge), effectively developing and delivering content that serves as "technical manuals" for scientific skill enhancement
• Innovation Ecosystem Development & Technology Transfer Methodologies: I focus on developing and assessing innovation ecosystem models (e.g., university-industry linkage models, tech transfer frameworks) that bridge scientific discovery with practical application. My training in Entrepreneurial Skills Development at Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, and participation in the EPSRC-funded "Pathway to Impact" project provided me with the "tools" and "methodologies" for fostering innovation. As a Jury Member for the Stevie Award for Women in Business and the Queen's Young Leaders Program, I have "evaluated" and "troubleshot" innovative ventures, ensuring their potential for impact.
While my primary expertise is not in specific physical equipment, I specialize in the design, implementation, and optimization of frameworks and methodologies crucial for fostering advanced scientific and technological ecosystems. This includes:
For Capacity Building: Developing and deploying curriculum models for specialized STEM training, designing and evaluating professional development frameworks for researchers and educators, and implementing best-practice pedagogical tools for higher education.
For Research Collaboration: Establishing and managing collaborative research platforms, designing inter-institutional MOUs and partnership models, and implementing grant proposal development frameworks for multi-disciplinary projects.
For Innovation: Developing and assessing innovation ecosystem models (e.g., university-industry linkage models, tech transfer frameworks), designing intellectual property management systems, and implementing startup incubation and acceleration methodologies."
