Our Alumni Panelist Lineup
 
Dr. Molly H. Goldstein is a Teaching Assistant Professor and Product Design Lab Director in Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering at the Grainger College at the University of Illinois. Dr. Goldstein earned her Ph.D. in Engineering Education at Purdue University in 2018. During this time, she was awarded the College of Engineering Outstanding Research Award and was a Bilsland Fellow. Dr. Goldstein’s research focuses on student designer trade-off decisions through the study of their design actions and thinking. Her studies often involve educational and professional contexts with cross-disciplinary collaborations. She has a B.S. in General Engineering (Systems Engineering & Design) and M.S. in Systems and Entrepreneurial Engineering, both from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Prior to pursuing her Ph.D., she worked as an environmental engineer specializing in air quality, influencing her focus in engineering design with environmental concerns. Dr. Goldstein is a 2021 recipient of the Central Illinois Business Forty under 40 award and a Grainger College Education Innovation Fellow.
 
Dr. Timothy Murray joined the ISE department in August 2016 and obtained his PhD in Industrial Engineering in May 2021. His graduate work was in Game Theory, studying the effects of Limited-Trust on Social Utility with Professor Jugal Garg and Professor Rakesh Nagi. During that time, he also completed internships at Amazon and MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Timothy joined Target as a Lead AI Scientist in February 2021 following his dissertation defense in December 2020. At Target, he works primarily on inventory allocation problems such as end-of-season positioning, import network distributions, and seasonal apparel placements using a mixture of techniques drawn from Operations Research and Data Science. His team is hiring.

Prior to beginning his graduate studies in the ISE department, Timothy worked as a Data Engineer at Capital One. He obtained his BA in Mathematics from Cornell University in 2015.

Dr. Puneet Sharma is Vice President for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovations at Siemens Healthineers located at Princeton, New Jersey.

Under his leadership, his team’s scientific work has been extensively validated in clinical studies and translated into multiple medical products that are being used by healthcare professionals for delivering quality care to the patients, with application ranging from cardiovascular diagnosis, therapy planning, therapy guidance, and outcome prediction.

He received his Ph.D. in Systems and Entrepreneurial Engineering (2008), and MS in General Engineering (2003) from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, IL, USA. He received his B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Bombay in 2001.

Puneet holds 85 US patents in the field of healthcare technology and received the New Jersey Inventor Hall of Fame - Innovators Award in 2016. He was selected as the Fellow of American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering in 2022. He has co-authored over 30 publications in top scientific and clinical journals.

Dr. Curt Stowers is a Certified Financial Planner and founder and president of F5 Financial, a fee-only financial planning firm with offices in Naperville, IL, McDonough, GA, and Venice, FL, and serving clients nationwide (virtually). Curt is a graduate from the University of Illinois, where he earned a BS, MS, and PhD in Industrial Engineering. 

Curt was born in Orlando, Florida and has lived in over twenty different locations over his lifetime. During his nine years at the University of Illinois, he remained active in athletics (participating in numerous intramural championship teams).

From 1993 to 2012 Curt was employed with Caterpillar. During that time, he worked in inventory management, project management, commercial management, operations management, purchasing and business development.

Curt has always been fascinated with finances and around 2000 began exploring the possibility of offering a financial planning services company that would help families achieve their goals. In mid 2011, he took steps to turn the dream into reality. He founded F5 Financial in 2013.
