Olga Pierrakos, Virginia Tech Olga Pierrakos is currently a National Academy of Engineering CASEE AGEP Postdoctoral Engineering Education Researcher (PEER) at Virginia Tech in the Department of Engineering Education. Dr. Pierrakos holds an M.S. in Engineering Mechanics and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Virginia Tech. Her Ph.D. work pertained to vortex dynamics in left ventricular flows. She has served as faculty advisor to over thirty mechanical engineering seniors involved in biomedical engineering design projects and taught several mechanical engineering fluid mechanics, design, and technical communication courses. Her research interests are outcomes-based assessment methods for a variety of learning experiences in engineering, students' learning mechanisms, using research and design examples to teach engineering concepts, K-12 engineering education, and cardiovascular fluid mechanics research.
