Biography

Mayari Serrano Anazco is a visiting clinical assistant professor in the Honors College at Purdue University. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Biotechnology Engineering at Ecuador's Army Polytechnic School and her Master's and Ph.D. degrees in Computer and Information Technology from Purdue University. In 2018, she and Dr. Suzanne Zurn-Birkhimer and Dr. Beth M. Holloway were conferred the Susan Bulkeley Butler Research Fellowship Award. After obtaining her Ph.D., she was appointed as the first post-doctoral fellow of the Women in Engineering Program at Purdue University.

Mayari Serrano has worked towards increasing women's participation in technology and engineering for over eight years previous coming to the John Martinson Honors College. She has authored, co-authored, implemented, and assessed learning activities, outreach activities, and workshops focused on modifying negative attitudes towards technology and engineering and increasing knowledge of several topics of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).

Mayari Serrano's research focuses on commercial and educational technologies' effect on teaching, learning, diversity, and inclusion. Her publications show interdisciplinary interest and cover multimodal learning environments, embodied cognition, complex concepts, user experience, spatial abilities, gender bias, gender stereotypes, e-mentoring, sense of belonging, campus climate, and exergaming.
