Monique Ross, Associate Professor in the Engineering Education Department at The Ohio State University. Her research focuses on broadening participation in computing by exploring: 1) race, gender, and identity in the academy and industry; and 2) discipline-based education research to inform pedagogical practices that garner interest and retain women and marginalized populations in computer-related engineering fields. She earned a doctoral degree in Engineering Education from Purdue University, M.S. in Computer Science and Software Engineering from Auburn University, and B.S. in Computer Engineering from Elizabethtown College. Before joining OSU she was a tenured professor in the Knight Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences at Florida International University.
