About

Anna Pirvu is an Urban Studies major, minoring in Spanish and Sustainable Cities at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her graduating class is 2023.

She is currently a part of the National Science Foundation program, Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU), for the STiiP team. In this role, she is able to work on a supervised research project within the study that includes creating outward facing materials and while also contributing to study data collection.

She says that:

being able to put my research and technical skills into practice is a very exciting and rewarding experience.
