Graduate Plans

The year is coming to a close and it is once again time to say goodbye to our senior graduates. Several are going into the industry, and more have plans for graduate school.

Greg Gutsgell has begun his new job at GreenSea Systems in Vermont. The company focuses in "creative unmanned technologies". Greg is working on an underwater autonomous vehicle and travels between British Columbia and Vermont for robot testing.

Megan Stark began her new job on the technical staff at the Sanford Underground Research Laboratory in South Dakota. She is working on LUX (Large Underground Xenon detector), a detector for dark matter.

Patrick Harrington will start as a PhD student at the Institute of Materials Science & Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis this fall. Patrick is going to study quantum state trajectories in superconducting qubit systems.

Will Bugden (a recent 3-2 engineering program graduate) will attend RPI this fall for graduate studies in aerodynamics and control systems.

Danielle Duggins began her PhD studies at Caltech in Materials Science this past fall after working for two years. She has been working in the field of bulk metallic glasses, but is still pondering what topic to pursue for her PhD.

In addition to our graduates, the 3-2 are also making decisions about which engineering schools they will be heading off to in the fall. The students have been accepted to a range of engineering schools including the University of Connecticutt, U Mass - Dartmouth, USC (University at Southern California), University of Illinois  Champagne-Urbana, Northeastern, and more.

We wish all the students well as they move forward.
