Shiley School of Engineering dean Sharon Jones serves as a member of the external advisory panel charged with completing the summative evaluation of a 3-year NSF-funded research project titled “Institutional Transformation: Empowering Faculty to Cultivate a Culture of Ethics in Engineering” at UC San Diego.
Aziz Inan, engineering, published the “By the numbers” section of an article titled, “Biographer uncovers tumultuous life of Barbara La Marr, silent film star born in Yakima,” written by Tammy Ayer of the Yakima Herald-Republic, published on September 17, 2018. Last summer, Inan wrote a short birthday article about interesting number connections in La Marr’s life and contacted her biographer, Sherry Snyder, asking her help for accuracy checking in his article. It is this rare and unique collaboration between an actress and a biographer, an engineer, and a reporter which led to the publication of Ayer’s recent article.
