Melinda Jane Piket-May is an American engineer who is a professor of engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder. [1] Her research investigates numerical modeling of electromagnetic phenomena and new strategies for more inclusive engineering education. [2] [3] [4]
Piket-May became interested in mathematics and science at high school. [5] She earned her undergraduate degree in biomedical and electrical engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.[ citation needed] She moved to Northwestern University for graduate studies, where she specialized in electrical engineering and developed computational models for electromagnetic phenomena. [6] She spent her summers as an intern at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, where she developed simulations to control superconducting super-collider magnets. [5] [7]
After earning her doctorate, Piket-Mary remained at Northwestern as a postdoctoral research assistant.[ citation needed] In 2000, Piket-May joined the faculty at the University of Colorado Boulder. She was made an associate professor in 2000 and Chair of the Boulder Faculty Assembly in 2015.[ citation needed] Her research considers the development of numerical methods for finite-difference time-domain method solutions of Maxwell's equations. [8] The methods she developed are based on sampling electromagnetic fields over a given period of time. [8]
Alongside her scientific research, Piket-Mary is interested in K–12, undergraduate and graduate teaching. [9] [10] She was named a Timmerhaus Teaching Ambassador in 2019. [9]
