High-Tech Sunday: Ep. 17 - Dr. Elodie Billionniere & Dr. Monique Ross

The BEYA STEM Conference presents High-Tech Sunday. On today’s episode of High-Tech Sunday, our hosts, Dr. Mark Vaughn and Lango Deen, sit down with Associate Professor at Miami Dade College, Dr. Elodie Billionniere, and Assistant Professor at Florida International University, Dr. Monique Ross.

Dr. Billionnaire has helped the Miami Dade College secure millions in federal funding the past three years for STEM and emerging technology education programs with industry partners as well as a collaborative high-tech learning hub with the aim of providing further opportunities to minoritized and low-income populations to meet the work force needs.

Dr. Ross has 11 years of experience in industry as a software engineer. Her research interests include broadening participation in computing through the exploration of race, gender, and identity and discipline-based education research that garners interest and retains women and minorities in computer-related engineering fields.
