AU Research Innovative, Impactful, & Game-Changing

AU faculty conduct impactful research because change can't wait.

National Center for Women & Information Technology

The National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) is a non-profit community that convenes, equips, and unites change leader organizations to increase the influential and meaningful participation of girls and women —at the intersections of race/ethnicity, class, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability status, and other historically marginalized identities— in the field of computing, particularly in terms of innovation and development.

Institutional representatives include Dr. Bei Xiao and Dr. Leah Ding, both Associate Professors in the Department of Computer Science as well as Dr. Nathalie Japkowicz, Professor and Department Chair of Computer Science. Learn More
