She will leave time for questions.

She is speaking to help CUNY faculty think about applying to the multiple of NSF programs within the CISE Core. CISE core is very relevant to EE/Computer Engineering faculty as well. The second NSF program listed is a synthesis of Bio, EE  and CS and may be of interest too.
