"Gitanjali is active and enthusiastic and is always willing to help other students," says Atam Dhawan, Ph.D. Dhawan is professor of electrical and computing and biomedical engineering and chairperson of the electrical and computing engineering department. Puri loves math, science and, most of all, engineering. "These subjects makes me think," she says, "creatively and logically - not just problem solving but real-life problems, too." Puri mentors fellow students in her capacity as president of the student chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Dhawan says. She has been a role model for many women students in engineering and science as the vice president of the student branch of the Society of Women Engineers, and she is a member of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Honor Society, Tau Beta Pi. Puri's success has not been confined to the classroom. She worked one summer at Princeton University on an electron-beam lithography project and has worked as an intern at Lucent Technologies. She has also worked in NJIT's admissions department as well as in the university's learning center.
