Best thing about your engineering program: Small class sizes make a real difference because you get to know your professors, and they get to know you. The research opportunities and industry connections here have also given me a head start in my career that I don’t think I would have found anywhere else. How has St. Thomas impacted your life? St. Thomas gave me research opportunities I didn’t expect to find until grad school. Getting to work on industry level engineering projects as an undergrad changed what I thought was possible for me and is what made me seriously consider pursuing a PhD. Tell us about your research: Right now, I’m working on two projects. In the College of Engineering, I work with Dr. Chong Xu on an autonomous rover designed for agricultural applications. I also have a grant with the Finance department designing hardware for financial computations. These experiences have pushed me to think across disciplines and apply my technical skills to real projects. Tell us about your favorite class: Design of Embedded Systems is one of my favorites. The final project was challenging but so rewarding. It was the first time I felt like an actual engineer, not just a student, and Dr. Nepal encourages you to trust your knowledge to complete the project without his help.
