Co-Chair

Madhurima is a Physics PhD candidate in the Rogers Lab at Brandeis University researching self-assembly using DNA origami. She specifically works on assembling negative-gaussian curvature structures and controlling their self-limited length scales. She received her B.Sc in Physics with honors at Calcutta University, India. She is passionate about collaborative scientific ventures, both academic and entrepreneurial while also building support networks and hopes to help foster that spirit within the NE GWiSE community.

NE GWiSE is an alliance between GWISE groups from universities across New England. We are joining together to support and celebrate women and gender minorities in STEM fields, to increase awareness of the issues we face, and create change within our community. We support ideas and actions to increase diverse gender representation in STEM departments, create fair and positive workplace environments, increase the support and mentorship students receive, and enact equitable university and federal policies. Through advocacy, diversity, outreach efforts, and networking opportunities, as well as collective actions and supporting developing GWISE groups, NE GWiSE works to advance policies and programs across New England to promote equality and improve the experience of students. All members of the graduate community are welcome to become NE GWiSE members and attend our events.
