Faculty Profile
Dr. Zhewei Dai
Departments: Mathematics and Computer Science
As an undergraduate student studying mathematics at Wuhan University in China, Zhewei Dai was so inspired by her own professors that she determined she would follow in their footsteps.
“I wanted a career in which I would have lifelong learning and an intellectual challenge,” she says. “I wasn’t interested in the 9-5, then repeat, same everyday lifestyle. I also had wonderful teachers who shaped me, and through them, I realized teaching was an important and honorable profession.”
