Faculty Mentor:
Tony Wyss-Coray
I believe science thrives when everyone feels they belong. Mentorship and community have shaped my own growth and continue to motivate me to create spaces where others can flourish. Through leading the Stanford Optical Society, mentoring students in the Canary CREST program, participating in the Pathways to Neurosciences program, and being selected as a 2026 SPIE Women in Optics honoree, I’ve worked to connect people across disciplines and backgrounds. I am proudest of building lasting communities where trainees feel seen, supported, and confident in their contributions, and I remain committed to fostering inclusive academic spaces that empower the next generation.
