Bio
Dr. Siqing Wei is an Assistant Professor at the Youngstown State University. He received a B.S. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering and a Ph.D. in Engineering Education program at Purdue University as a triple boiler. He was a postdoc fellow at the University of Cincinnati under the supervision of Dr. David Reeping. His research interests span several major research topics, which are teamwork, AI in education, cultural diversity, and international and Asian/ Asian American student experiences. He utilizes innovative and cutting-edge methods, such as person-centered approaches, NLP, ML, and Social Relation Models. He studies and promotes multicultural teaming experiences to promote an inclusive and welcoming learning space for all to thrive in engineering. Particularly, he aims to help students improve intercultural competency and teamwork competency through interventions, counseling, pedagogy, and mentoring. Siqing received the Outstanding Graduate Student Research Award in 2024 from Purdue College of Engineering, the Bilsland Dissertation fellow in the 2023-24 academic year, and the 2024 FIE New Faculty Fellow Award.
