Design. Her research interests include the education of Black and Brown students, especially those from immigrant communities, in the fields of engineering and science. In addition to her ongoing work on culturally relevant VR science teaching, Greses seeks to understand issues of diversity and inclusion in engineering. Specifically, she investigates how language influences who engages in the technical fields. She was recently awarded the Stanford DARE fellowship. Globally, she is part of the Galapagos research-practice partnership that seeks to improve the teaching of science for underserved communities through education for sustainability. Before coming to Stanford, she was a bilingual educator at Plano ISD. In Plano, she served in the Gifted and Talented Advisory Committee and the Elementary Curriculum Design team. Prior to starting her career in education, Greses was a project manager for engineering programs funded by the European nonprofits in the Caribbean. She holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Santo Domingo Technological Institute, a M.Eng. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez, and a M.Ed. in School Leadership from Southern Methodist University.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
