“’This award was a complete surprise, and my academic colleagues kept asking me whether I knew about it ahead of time,’ said Chien.”

“Chien’s willingness to break boundaries, stretch the envelope of customary practice, and demand fairness and conscientious treatment of all – independent of race, gender, culture and ethnicity.”

“She recognizes the challenges of being the pathfinder across the male-dominated environment prevalent in engineering, and she accepts that struggle for herself and provides the support and encouragement for those in similar circumstances.”

This news piece came out on 3/14/2022 – Pi Day. This was also the 1st OPS (operations) testday of the E-FIELD Flames space experiment in 2018
