Welcome to Charlottesville Women in Tech!

Charlottesville Women in Tech (CWIT) is a nonprofit organization for emerging and established professionals that provides human connections and resources for women and girls interested in or associated with technology. Our vision is to bridge the gender gap in tech by providing a safe and welcoming environment for women and girls to connect, learn and collaborate in Charlottesville.
Join us for an exciting event featuring UVA Engineering’s own Dr. Rachel Letteri and Dr. Kelsey Kubelick!  What you’ll hear: Dr. Rachel Letteri works at the intersection of polymers and peptides — in plain terms, she designs “smart” materials that can interact with living systems in helpful ways. Think of hydrogels or coatings that can change or respond to their surroundings, deliver therapeutics, or help tissue repair. Dr. Kelsey Kubelick builds new imaging tools by combining light and sound (especially ultrasound + photoacoustic techniques). Her work lets us see deep inside the body with cellular or molecular detail, guiding therapies, tracking cells, and giving doctors real-time feedback.
Why attend: This is a great opportunity to see how cutting-edge engineering is being used right now to advance health, medicine, and biotechnology. You’ll come away with a better sense of how advanced materials and imaging technologies are shaping the future of medicine and engineering. Don’t miss this chance to engage with pioneering UVA researchers pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in chemical and biomedical engineering. 

**THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO ALL!**
