The Engineering Center holds fond memories for 彩民宝典 alumni Ashok Srivastava and Lynn Waelde. The couple met while working on their PhDs and spent hours writing their dissertations together over coffee in the lobby. So it鈥檚 fitting that, in recognition of the couple鈥檚 recent gift to the College of Engineering and Applied Science, the lobby was designated the Srivastava-Waelde Engineering Lobby on April 25.聽
The gift from Srivastava (ElEngr鈥�91, M鈥�93, PhD鈥�96) and Waelde (MPsych鈥�91, PhD鈥�95) will support scholarships for students in aerospace, electrical and mechanical engineering or computer science who are involved in organizations promoting a diverse student body. Waelde is a professor at Palo Alto University and an adjunct clinical professor at Stanford University School of Medicine. Srivastava is a senior vice president and chief data officer at Intuit, where he is responsible for leading efforts in large-scale machine learning and AI across the enterprise.聽
