Who:
Mary Ann Leung, Ph.D.
President and CEO, Sustainable Horizons Institute
Dr. Mary Ann Leung is a nationally-acclaimed leader in the design and implementation of innovative programs aimed at developing the next generation of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) leaders. Dr. Leung has nurtured her passion for connecting students and science by developing and implementing novel and measurably impactful initiatives. In 2014, she created Sustainable Horizons Institute to increase opportunities for all students and professionals in STEM.
Before launching Sustainable Horizons, Dr. Leung was the program manager for the Department of Energy (DOE) Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (CSGF) program. For this, she developed workshops, arranged for large allocations coupled with training and mentoring, and increased usage of DOE supercomputing resources. During her tenure, the program achieved an unprecedented level of recruitment and fellow and alumni engagement through a strategic, multi-faceted integration of online, regional, professional society, and annual conference activities.
At Miami Dade College, Dr. Leung developed and implemented novel programming in the Tools For Success program, funded through the National Science Foundation STEM Talent Expansion Program. She initiated a rapid start, and then engaged and retained students through online and learning communities, specialized courses, virtual and traditional seminars, peer and faculty mentoring, field trips, and other activities.
A computational chemist by training, Dr. Leung is an experienced author and researcher. Her research interests include the development of scalable, parallel, scientific codes for the investigation of quantum mechanical phenomena, as well as science and technology education, workforce development, and creating ecosystems for all. Her research is published in several peer-reviewed journals and she remains in-demand as a speaker and contributor at national STEM-based initiatives.
Dr. Leung holds a Ph.D. and an M.S. in Computational Physical Chemistry from the University of Washington. She graduated with honors from Mills College, earning a B.A. in Chemistry with a Math minor.
