Not only does the work address a pressing problem for Florida, but it also is part of an NSF research grant to support undergraduate women and minorities in STEM fields.<\/p>\n<p>Mayo is a strong advocate of the role mentors play in diversifying the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAcademia is extremely challenging at every stage, particularly in STEM disciplines, and particularly for women and people of color,\u201d she said. \u201cI have been mentored at every stage of my career and I know it has played an integral role in my success\u00a0thus far. Only\u00a04.8 percent of people\u00a0with careers in <a href=\"https:\/\/stem.ucf.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">STEM<\/a> are black, so\u00a0I know it is not by chance that I am one of them. The statistics for other groups are similarly low, so while the problem is large, I\u00a0understand that mentorship is an important step towards the solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Engineering student Cindi-Ann Findley will be in Washington with Mayo to participate in the exhibition. Findley has worked with Mayo on the mathematical modeling project.<\/p>\n<p>The duo will continue their research this summer at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, CO, and this fall back at UCF.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope our work will assist decision makers and emergency managers in best accounting for all of the factors that contribute to coastal flooding during hurricanes,\u201d Mayo said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UCF engineering Assistant Professor Talea Mayo will showcase her work about coastal flooding today during the Coalition for National Science Funding\u2019s 24th\u00a0annual Capitol Hill Exhibition in Washington, D.C.
