Dr. Ashlesha Deshmukh successfully defended her PhD this past fall semester and is now working for Precision in Boston, MA. Not only has she been a remarkable asset to the WITNe lab research, her verve and zest for learning inspired everyone to pursue more, to reach for the next idea, to make sure we would always chase the biggest dreams. Her tenacity and sparkle is greatly missed, but we are so proud of her and look forward to seeing what she will accomplish next.
