She is a highly productive researcher with 15 international blind peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles and 21 refereed conference papers. Dr. Mandhachitara is in demand as a reviewer of academic papers submitted to journals for publication. She continues to maintain her academic connections with Thailand through on-going Ph.D dissertation supervision. In addition to scholarly research, she is very heavily involved in services activities with both campus committees and external initiatives. She is a director of the Pittsburgh chapter of Zonta, a charitable organization originally associated with aviator Amelia Earhart.

Dr. Mandhachitara’s greatest love is teaching and her students seem very appreciative of her efforts to go the extra mile in both classroom preparation and execution. She received the Excellence in Teaching award at Penn State New Kensington in 2011.
