NIMS Graduate Fellowship
Graduate Student Oden Institute
Originally from Canada, Calista grew up in Mississauga before moving to Toronto for her undergraduate studies. She earned her Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering Science with a major in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Toronto. During her degree, she completed a co-op at the National Research Council Canada as a Research Assistant, working on Helicopter Structures and Full-Scale Aircraft Testing—an experience that solidified her passion for research. She went on to pursue a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering at McGill University, where her work focused on applying hyperreduction techniques to reduced-order models for aerodynamic simulations. Now a CSEM Ph.D. student at the Oden Institute, her research interests include reduced-order modeling, computational fluid dynamics, and scientific machine learning.
