A 'headshot'-style photograph of Alexis. She is wearing a green dress with floppy disks printed on it, as well as a black sweater. She is standing in a verdant environment, with a tree and a brick wall in the background.

My name is Alexis Maya-Isabelle Shuping (she/her pronouns). I’m a fifth-year Ph.D. student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at Northwestern University, with research focused on using hardware-accelerated machine learning to power new and improved tooling for scientific research! I also have a passion for teaching, and I’m willing to go the extra mile to give all of my students - including those from disadvantaged backgrounds - the best possible chance at mastering the course material. Feel free to browse my research and teaching history to learn more about me, and check out my blog for insights into my day-to-day process.
