FY23 President Welcome
Elizabeth Foster

Welcome to the start of a new fiscal year! You’ll see a mix of new and returning faces on our executive committee this year, and I am confident we have a great year ahead of us.
A little about me - I currently live in Shadyside with my partner of almost five years, Pat, and my cat, Calpurnia. I am starting my 4th year of my PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. Prior to being at CMU, I earned an M.Eng in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Kentucky. The majority of my time is spent conducting research relevant to the distribution grid in large electric power systems - so if you work in power or are curious about my research, I’d love to share more about what I do! Prior to taking on the President role, I spent two years as our section’s VP of Programming.
If you’re looking to be more active in our SWE Pittsburgh community, please reach out and let’s set up a time to chat! I am always interested in meeting up with folks for a cup of coffee or tea (or a beverage of your choice!). You can email me directly at emedfoster@gmail.com.
Looking forward to getting to know you and to another great year!
Thanks,
Elizabeth Foster
