Women in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (WEECS) is a student organization at the University of Central Florida. WEECS exists to foster community among women in the field of computing. We aim to bring more women into the field and to do all that we can to provide them with the resources they need to be successful.

Megan Danh, President
Hey, I’m Megan! I’m a junior in computer engineering, with a research focus on machine learning and computer vision. This summer, I had the amazing opportunity to intern with NASA on their EGSSim team. I’m super thrilled to collaborate with WEECS’ other officers to create an empowering and inclusive resource to help girls in EE, CpE, and CS to connect and succeed in their fields. This year, I hope to promote members’ proficiency in networking and hone their technical skill set. In my free time, I love watching Gilmore Girl, sewing, and listening to Mitski or The Marias. I’m so excited to see how WEECS will grow this year and what we will all accomplish! |

Jordan Merkel, Vice President
Hi I’m Jordan! I’m currently a junior at UCF and I’m studying Computer Engineering, doing the Digitial VLSI Circuits Track. This summer, I interned at Northrop Grumman and worked in their Missions Systems sector. When I heard about the opportunity to relaunch WEECS, I was super excited to help create a supportive and colaborative environment for other women in my field. I’m very passionate about this club and I can’t wait to see how it grows!! |

Labiba Ibrahim, Secretary
Hello everyone! I am Labiba and I am an Electrical Engineering major. I am very interested in chip manufacturing and am currently working in the cleanroom at UCF. I joined WEECS because I wanted to meet fellow electrical and other women engineers. As the secretary of WEECS, my goal is to make WEECS a place where we can have fun, share our ideas, and grow together. |
