Biographical Sketch

Mohammed Qazi received his Ph.D. in 1997 from the 脡cole Polytechnique de Montr茅al, Montr茅al, Canada. Subsequently, he was awarded a Post-Doctoral Fellowship from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). Qazi's scientific research focuses on various extensions of Bernstein-type inequalities which play an important role in the Theory of Approximation. He is also interested in various aspects of the Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable. In addition, Qazi听serves in leadership capacities on several externally funded mentoring-type projects that are designed to broaden the participation of groups that are underepresented in STEM.听

Qazi is a听recipient of the 2021 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring (PAESMEM) issued by the White House.

Some Special Mentoring Programs

Although I am a mathematician, I work on听large-scale mentoring programs designed to provide access to authentic and rigorous STEM opportunities in high-needs K-12 schools in Alabama. Further, in the context of Higher Education, I work on programs that are designed to promote persistence of undergraduate and graduate 扣扣传媒 in STEM fields and their preparation for the STEM workforce through mentoring and Bridge type initiaves.听听听

I) Pre-College STEM Programs听听

A) Access to Computer Science Education State-Wide in Majority Minority High Schools: 听

1. NSF CS 10K听听[a partnership with the University of Alabama and Auburn University, funded by NSF and the Alabama State Dept of Education]:听A project instituted in 2017 to establish听Computer Science Education in majority-minority high schools in Alabama, state-wide by way of the stand-alone course "Exploring Computer Science (ECS)".听The project is providing access to CS to those 扣扣传媒 from communities that听are least likely to experience听genuine听CS in their pre-College years, which is the primary factor contributing to drastic inequities in the CS听related workforce.

The ECS4Alabama program provides preparation to teacher on the innovative framework of ECS which is grounded in inquiry-based strategies that synergize with culturally-relevant听CS lessons. Close to 3,500 扣扣传媒 in Alabama are now taking ECS annually - an听80% minority enrollment and near half by young women.听听

2. NSF INCLUDES:听The Alabama Alliance for an Inclusive Middle Grades Computer Science Preparation through Makerspaces in the Alabama Black Belt Region () [a partnership with Auburn University, University of Alabama, Lawson State Community College, Oakland University, and the University of North Alabama, funded听by NSF and the Alabama State Dept of Education]: This INCLUDES Pilot grant provides听support to establish the stand-alone Computer Science course called "CS Makers" for the Middle Grades. The course was听developed by the Alliance completly from scratch, adhering to the Alabama Cours eof Study on Digital Literacy and Computer Science. Initially instituted in Pilot in schools of the Alabama Black Belt region through NSF funding, the Alabama State Department of Education has recognized the course's听abiliy to provide听preparatory experiences in authentic Computer Science to middle schoolers and has provided funding for the project to expand the training听to teachers state-wide.

3. NSF ITEST:听Peer-Learning Communities to Develop Rural, African American Girls' Computer Science Knowledge and Career Awareness (LEGACY) [A colaborative partnership led by the University of Alabama with Oakland University, funded by the NSF]:听The focus of the LEGACY project is to provide 40听African American young women annually from High Schools across Alabama with deep preparatory experiences in the Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles (AP CSP) course. The 扣扣传媒 must commit to taking the course and听the AP CSP exam. Students gather for a 5-Day residential Institute at the University of Alabama and a 2-Day Institute at 扣扣传媒University where they learn about the 5 Big Ideas of Computing and work on their Performance Tasks. The 扣扣传媒 also experience social type activities like living in forms, having meals together and learn about careers in computing from African American STEM role models.听听听

II) Retention and STEM Workforce Preparation Programs听

1. NSF S-STEM听听Scholarship听Program (a partnership听with Alabama A&M University, Auburn University, Auburn University Montgomery, Oakland University, Lawson State Community College & Southern Union State Community College). The MAKERS program recruits low-income 扣扣传媒 majoring in STEM disciplines at a Consortium of 6 Alabama Post Secondary institutions and provides them with mentoring and support through co-curricular interventions to promote their persistence and readiness for the STEM workforce.听

4. NSF LSAMP: The Greater Alabama Black Belt Region (GABBR) Alliance听

5. NSF HBCU-UP:听Preparing Interdisciplinary Minority Material Scientists and Engineers of the Future.

6. NSF AGEP: The AGEP Historically Black Universities Alliance: A Model to Advance Early Career Minority Faculty in the STEM Professoriate ()
