Hi, I'm Allison Flores — a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Iowa, passionate about teaching and mentoring the next generation of engineers and scientists. My approach blends theory with hands-on engagement, helping students connect abstract signal processing principles to systems they can point at. Outside the classroom I bartend, which parallels teaching more than you would expect — both ask for presence, adaptability, and the empathy to read a room.
