Highlights
Our students at the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (CEAS) at Stony Brook University are often recognized for scholarly achievements, their work on research projects, and their involvement in organizations, competitions, and other community-oriented activities.
Their accomplishments are featured in Stony Brook University News, as well as on all of our CEAS social media venues.
Here we share recent highlights of student life on the Stony Brook University campus and beyond, and the ways in which are students are making a difference.
Motorsports Team Update
The Stony Brook Motorsports Team competed in BAJA SAE competitions in California and Pennsylvania. The team participated in all dynamic events for both competitions and at BAJA SAE Williamsport in Pennsylvannia, Motorsports placed 10th in the four-hour endurance race.
Millares and Nederlander Recipients of GREAT Awards
Twelve Stony Brook University student researchers were among the 27 statewide honored with the annual SUNY Graduate Research Empowering and Accelerating Talent (GREAT) awards. Two students are from the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Congratulations to Marie Francoise Millares (l) of our Department of Materials Science and Ava Nederlander of our Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Moore Publishes First Author Paper
Christopher Moore of the Department of Biomedical Engineering (l) published his second first author paper "A Device-on-Chip Solution for Real-Time Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy Using FPGA" on biosensors, which is part of his work done for his undergraduate thesis project. Professors Wei Lin (r) and Ulas Sunar co-mentored Christopher. This is the first reported study to integrate the electronic components of a diffuse correlation spectroscopy in one chip. Congratulations and best wishes to Christopher who is starting his MD/PhD program this year at the Renaissance School of Medicine.
Zachary Slade Awarded Tau Beta Pi Scholarship
