Stephanie Doster is senior director of marketing, communications and engagement for two University of Arizona research units: the Institute for Computation and Data-Enabled Insight (ICDI) and the Space4 Center. She has been part of UArizona’s research enterprise since 2005, when she moved to Tucson. Trained as a journalist, Stephanie was a newspaper reporter at the Philadelphia Inquirer and The Times-Picayune, leaving New Orleans for Arizona two months before Hurricane Katrina. The thrill of her newspaper career was slicing through the air as a passenger in an F-16 with an Air Force Thunderbird pilot. At UArizona, she has been part of the marketing and communications community across campus and has served on a number of committees and working groups, including the current Artificial Intelligence Working Group. Before taking on her current roles, she was a writer, editor, and manager at the Institute of the Environment, an associate director of research communications, and director of research communications in Research, Innovation and Impact. In a previous life, she spoke Russian and a tiny bit of Turkmen as a Peace Corps volunteer teaching English and living on the Caspian Sea in Turkmenistan.
