MY
STORY
Founding
ExecuLve
Director
of
DoReMiHope
OrganizaLon
facebook.com/Doremihope
DoReMiHope
is
a
social
enterprise
for
children’s
educa:on
in
arts.
Our
programs
aim
at
empowering
children
to
express
themselves
through
performing
and
visual
arts.
We
encourage
and
nurture
various
forms
of
expression,
which
will
enrich
the
children’s
lives
and
turn
them
into
responsible
and
sensible
individuals
who
bring
happiness
and
good
to
their
world.
My
involvement
with
DoReMiHope
lays
in
my
belief
that
children
have
the
right
to
seek
and
find
their
talents
and
grow
up
with
a
sense
of
confidence
in
all
possible
opportuni:es.
Food
safety
and
policy
analysis
Research
Associate
at
Cornell
University
Developed
system
dynamics
and
agent-­‐based
models
for
studying
food
safety
and
public
policies.
This
research
was
a
startup
in
itself
and
I
laid
down
its
founda:on,
technology,
applica:ons,
and
business
implica:ons.
In
addi:on,
I
proposed
a
mobile
and
data
plaPorm
for
monitoring
food
safety
in
metropolitan
areas
and
I
pitched
my
proposal
to
leaders
of
the
College
of
Veterinary
Medicine
and
the
College
of
Agriculture
and
Life
Sciences
(CALS).
I
researched
the
feasibility
of
this
plaPorm
and
I
developed
modules
for
mobile
app
integra:on.
I
proac:vely
sought
collabora:ons
in
engineering
and
computer
science,
as
well
as
among
faculty
at
the
Vet
School
and
CALS
of
Cornell.
Without
funding
and
specific
interests
in
mobile
technology
applica:ons,
I
could
not
execute
on
this
proposal
as
part
of
my
employment
aSribu:ons.
I
made
a
healthy
drink
for
all
ages
As
a
technical
person,
I
know
that
energy
and
crea:vity
brew
fabulously
from
healthy
foods
and
drinks.
And
so
did
my
mother,
who
actually
made
the
first
recipe
long
ago,
when
I
was
a
child.
This
kitchen
experimenta:on
and
beverage
market
analysis
are
now
complete
and
I
am
ac:vely
looking
for
investors
and
managers
experienced
and
connected
in
the
beverage
industry.
Produced
from
basic
ingredients,
my
drink
brims
with
healthy
nutrients
and
does
not
have
energy
or
mood
enhancers.
To
assess
the
nutri:onal
value
and
compliance
with
food
safety
regula:ons,
I
conducted
tests
at
various
labs
and
at
Cornell’s
experimental
sta:on
for
small
food
enterprises.
In
:me,
I
have
produced
many
flavors
of
this
drink
and,
currently,
I
am
also
experimen:ng
with
lacto
bacteria.
The
popular
vote
was
also
favorable,
as
many
people
who
tasted
my
drinks
at
various
events
were
intrigued
by
the
unknown
flavors
and
aromas.

Like
most
children,
Ioana
had
her
sparkles

of
these
interests.
Star:ng

Ioana
and
I
setup
the
ideas
and

for
DoReMiHope,

For

DoReMiHope
was

Ioana’s

pursued
to

it
happen.

VisiLng
Assistant
Professor,
Research
Associate
at
Wesleyan
University
I
loved
the
small
liberal
arts
college
atmosphere
and
the
challenge
of
marke:ng
science
to
students.
Teaching
the
largest
general
science
course
at
Wesleyan
was
crucial
for
me
in
becoming
a
confident
speaker
in
front
of
large
audiences.
Finding
the
tone
for
communica:ng
with
students
who
had
modest
passion
and
interest
in
physics
was
a
tough
lesson,
which,
nevertheless,
served
me
well
in
both
life
and
profession.
I
collaborated
across
science
disciplines
with
molecular
biologists,
physicists,
and
chemists
to
discover
new
mechanisms
in
the
regula:on
of
gene
transcrip:on,
the
process
that
monitors
our
making
as
healthy
humans.
Proposed
the
new
principle
of
conforma:onal
capture
in
protein-­‐RNA
interac:on.
Performed
dynamics
and
Monte-­‐Carlo
simula:ons
of
nucleic
acids
and
proteins.
Computed
sta:s:cs
of
nucleic
acid
geometry
from
databases
of
experimental
and
simulated
data.
Wrote
programs
of
sta:s:cal
analysis
and
protocols
for
simula:ng
Brownian
mo:on.
My
daughter,
Ioana
Emina,
was
born
in
2002.
This
started
for
me
a
renewed
journey
of
life
in
which
the
present
brought
together
the
past
and
future
alike.
I
loved
to
read
poetry
and
play
classical
music
to
my
girl,
while
swirling
bright
colors
into
her
first
drawings.
In
any
weather,
we
ventured
for
long
walks,
always
singing
and
talking
in
Romanian.
We
made
puzzles
and
riddles,
and
sought
to
find
the
beauty
in
everything
around
us.

4. Discovering
the
New
World
at
its
most
vivid
and
powerful
mark!
It
was
a
privilege
to
live
within
walking
distance
to
world
famous
museums.
I
soon
became
a
regular
at
the
Metropolitan
Museum
and
to
this
day,
I
recount
all
my
steps
along
its
:mes
and
places.
At
night,
I
used
to
walk
and
rollerblade
in
Central
Park,
happy
to
see
how
many
other
New
Yorkers
hit
the
trails
just
like
me.
I
almost
feel
again
that
taste
of
adventure
and
silence
that
made
us,
strangers,
simply
smile
at
each
other.
Graduate
Research
Assistant
at

Proposed
