Sebastian Lojano, E'24, civil engineering, had co-ops at Bond Brothers, DN Tanks, and Barletta Heavy Construction, which helped him determine his career plans. He was awarded a scholarship from The Moles, a national fraternal organization, for his demonstrated interest in the heavy construction industry. https://lnkd.in/euju-qne #nucoe #northeastern #AlumniNU

Shicheng Yang, PhD'24, chemical engineering, focused research on innovative drug delivery systems, including polymeric implants and lipid nanoparticles, for cancer treatment. He was named an inventor on "Processes for Nanoformulation of Molecular Inhibitors and Chemotherapeutics." https://lnkd.in/eBixA_w4 #nucoe #engineering #northeasternuniversity #nuexperience

MIE Assistant Professor Juner Zhu is one of only three individuals to receive an ECS - The Electrochemical Society Toyota Young Investigator Fellowship this year. He will conduct research to assess the condition of batteries in electric vehicles using mechano-electrochemical techniques that will identify a battery's physical changes to determine its overall health. https://lnkd.in/ebVM7_Hf #nucoe #engineering #northeasternuniversity

Co-ops at Insulet and the U.S. Army DEVCOM Soldier Center helped Elizabeth Klemm, E'23, bioengineering and biomedical engineering, determined her career path. She continued at the Soldier Center after graduating, focusing on helmet mass research and how the distribution of that mass may impact soldier performance. https://lnkd.in/eS-7_MfB #nucoe #northeastern #AlumniNU

ECE/COS Professor Ken Duffy, in collaboration with Boston University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology was awarded a $780,000 NSF grant for "Interferers in Our Midst." The team will develop methods to improve communication performance in shared, congested, and contested spectrum bands. https://lnkd.in/eyY-r9qQ #nucoe #engineering #northeasternuniversity

Jonathan Gray, E'16, mechanical engineering, is the recipient of the 2024 NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, which will contribute to his PhD in aerospace engineering at UCLA. Since 2016, he has worked as a project engineer at ATA Engineering, where he completed his first co-op. https://lnkd.in/eHWWMg4c #nucoe #northeastern #AlumniNU
