Evans Asare
Computer Science, Spring 2025
Research/Academic Interest: Cybersecurity (Cyber Operations – Defense)
Career Interest: I’m looking forward to becoming a cybersecurity analyst
Naima Bradley
Biomedical Engineering, Spring 2026
Research/Academic Interest: Women’s health and public health/policy relating to vulnerable communities
Career Interest: I am interested in combining biomedical engineering with public policy and public health. I aim to use my engineering background to develop innovative healthcare technologies and solutions, particularly those that can be integrated into public health systems to address the needs of vulnerable populations.
Peiton Fasullo
Chemical Engineering, Spring 2026
Research/Academic Interest: I would like to study something to do with chemical reaction kinetics. I think this field would be incredibly useful in practical engineering. Becoming an
expert in this field would allow me to become more knowledgeable in the reactions that occur in industrial settings, so I can improve processes or develop more useful and energy-efficient reactions to use instead of existing
ones.
