Dr. Prybutok is currently an Assistant Teaching Professor at the UW Department of Chemical Engineering. She’s passionate about engineering education and pursued both computational engineering research and engineering education initiatives during her PhD at Northwestern. Her graduate research focused on agent-based modeling for cell-based therapies in solid tumors, while her focus on education led to her co-founding the anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ARDEI) committee at Northwestern. Through this committee, she developed workshops for faculty that integrated concepts of ARDEI and social justice into the curriculum and coursework. She currently serves on the DEI committee in the UW Chemical Engineering department, where she helps organize workshops for Chemical Engineering faculty in inclusive teaching practices and universal design for learning.
