Career
Luks began her academic career at the University of Tulsa,where she spent over twenty years teaching and contributing to the chemical engineering field. [1] [2] During her tenure,she made the uncommon choice to focus on teaching rather than the more traditional research-intensive career path. [1] This decision was considered unconventional at the time,but she embraced it as an opportunity to concentrate on her strengths in teaching and mentoring students. [1]
In 2014,Luks joined the faculty at Missouri University of Science and Technology (S&T) as an associate teaching professor in the departments of chemical and biochemical engineering. [2] [1] She advanced to the rank of teaching professor in 2019. [1] Her work at S&T also includes serving as the associate chair of the Linda and Bipin Doshi Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering. [1]
Luks has been actively involved with the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) since attending its conference in Rolla,Missouri,in 1998. [1] Over the years,she has chaired and presented at numerous ASEE events and has been recognized for her efforts with several awards. [1] She held leadership roles within the organization,including vice president for professional interest councils from 2021 to 2022 and vice president for member affairs,a position she held as of 2024. [1] In March 2024,Luks was elected president-elect of ASEE. [1] She will officially began her term following the organization's annual conference in Portland,Oregon,in June 2024,and will assume the role of president after the 2025 ASEE annual conference in Montreal. [1] Luks will be the first teaching-focused,non-tenured professor to lead the organization. [1]
In addition to her involvement with ASEE,Luks was elected a fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers in 2020 and serves as the president of Omega Chi Epsilon. [4]
