Judy Greengold

President

Judy Greengold, MSN, CRNP, BFA, FNP-C is honored to serve as GSA President and lead community-building and academic and professional development efforts across UM. Her experience as a Family Medicine Nurse Practitioner, past GSA President at Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, and working mom scientist has shaped her perspective on inclusion and excellence for graduate students. Her doctoral work at the University of Miami School of Nursing & Health Studies leverages her expertise as a nationally recognized leader in telehealth and primary care to rigorously design, develop, and research practices in the strategic and safe use of technology to bring the highest levels of care, access, and equity to communities around the world. Judy is a proud alum of Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing (Merit Scholar, Fuld Fellow) and New York University Tisch School of the Arts (Trustees Scholar).

Sadegh Tale

Director of Finance

I’m a second year PhD student in the college of engineering, Advanced Materials lab, researching the chemistry of cementitious materials and admixtures. My work contains a plethora of chemical measurements and experimenting, computer analysis, machine learning model development and of course small lab scale casting of cement-based specimen (the hardest of all!). In my free time, I watch a ton of movies and shows, read Sci-fi and science books, hang out with friends and try to discover niche spots in Miami!

Nima Khodadadi

Director of Technology

Nimakhan graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering and a master’s degree in Structural Civil Engineering from the University of Tabriz (One of the ten top universities in Iran). He is currently studying for his 2nd Ph.D. at the University of Miami (UM) with distinguished professor Antonio Nanni. He got his 1st Ph.D. at the Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST). His main research interests lie in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, FRP, Concrete, and Metaheuristic algorithms. In addition, he has been actively involved in engineering optimization, especially Evolutionary algorithms. Nima has published over 55 publications with over 1000 citations and an H-index of 20 for now (Sep-2023). His hobby is coding, playing soccer, and swimming.

Subhashree Panda 

Director of Communications

I am a 3rd year PhD student in the civil and architecture engineering department. research is dedicated to the exploration of low-carbon supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) like CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 glasses, which have the potential to mitigate the CO2 emissions typically associated with cement manufacturing. I have been undertaking comprehensive structural characterization and reactivity analysis along with an extensive molecular dynamic simulation approach on these glasses to gain a deeper understanding of the individual elements. Fun fact – I’m such a foodie that my taste buds have more frequent flyer miles than I do!  I explore cuisines as long as my stomach can fit it all in 😊.Boring fact – Staying on campus is like a wild rollercoaster ride, while sleeping at home is like a slow, peaceful carousel. And I choose the rollercoaster, even if it comes with a snoring soundtrack! 😊

What is GSA?

Get to know GSA!

The University of Miami’s Graduate Students’ Association (GSA) is a student-governed body committed to promoting effective graduate student participation in University affairs, advocating on behalf of the UM graduate student body, and improving the quality of life for all UM graduate and medical students. With over 5,000 graduate students in 60 doctoral programs and 110 master’s programs across our three major campuses (Coral Gables, Miller School of Medicine, and the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences), the GSA serves as the liaison between the graduate student body and the administration. Since our creation in 1969, we have been supporting the graduate student population, making their welfare our priority.
