Tracy Liu serves as the director of network analytics and automation for AT&T Labs, practicing the principles of mentorship and advocacy she learned from her advisor in her day-to-day. She helps with diversity, equity and inclusion hiring for the company, forming a team that is 30 percent female, and is the vice president of the Education Innovation program, an initiative that helps support underrepresented students access resources. An achievement she is incredibly proud of is co-hosting the 2022 Junior Girl Hackathon, which gave girls ages 15 to 18 the opportunity to prototype and pitch technological solutions to real-world problems.
Liu has also spearheaded research collaborations at colleges like Carnegie Mellon University and the University of California, Los Angeles that have enabled historically marginalized students to participate in cutting-edge opportunities in science.
At UC Davis, Liu has mentored transfer students and underrepresented groups in STEM through the College of Engineering's AvenueE program. She believes AvenueE is necessary for promoting DEI, and she is thrilled that she can help young students link their academic expertise to a successful career through conversation, mentorship and sharing her professional network.
