Maggie Fox
PhD expected 2023
UCLA Materials Science and Engineering
We are excited to introduce our GradSWE FY22 Graduate Member Coordinator-Elect, Maggie Fox! Maggie is also a UCLA GradSWE General Board Member and a part of the SWE Women in Academia Committee.
Maggie is a UCLA Cota-Robles Fellow, and she has earned the Leaders in Sustainability Graduate Certificate. She is a Research Trainee for the UCLA NSF Innovations at the Nexus of Food, Energy and Water Systems (INFEWS).
Maggie’s research topic is Sustainable Materials and Materials for Energy Storage Systems. The overarching motivations for her research are to create sustainable alternatives for both energy storage and materials for building. One of her projects focuses on creating transparent coatings for windows to prevent buildings from using more energy due to heat loss. The other looks to optimize the materials used in energy storage devices such as batteries while still ensuring that they are an affordable energy storage solution.
Maggie’s goals are to work in academia as a research professor or as a consultant at a think tank. This past summer she was a summer associate at the RAND Corporation, a think tank based out of Santa Monica! Eventually, she hopes to start a nonprofit for underrepresented students to get access to STEM programs and other educational resources. Last year she started a conference called WiSTEM: Breaking Barriers that focused on helping women and their allies in STEM and hopes to grow it in the coming years.
Maggie spends a lot of time running and reading.
Fun fact: Last year she ran her first marathon (the LA Marathon) and this past year she ran in the 50th anniversary NYC marathon! She is trying to pick where she might compete next, so if you have any suggestions let her know!
