Caroline Sanders is a senior from North Carolina. And she started off in marketing but switched to biosystems engineering. And she's doing undergraduate research on seaweed's impact on cow flatulence. And she's a Gemini vegetarian. 

Just a junior? Could have fooled us, not to mention the entire panel of judges awarding the prestigious Kim de Rubertis Scholarship from the United States Society on Dams. Yep, biosystems undergrad researcher extraordinaire Anna Lancaster took down three PhD students and took home the big bucks last month — ten thousand smackeroos — for her work in internal erosion in unsaturated slopes. Talk abou...

A lot of people just whine about brine. But not assistant environmental engineering professor and wastewater recycling wunderkind Nick Zou. The Moses of Reverse Osmosis is using a $1.5 million Department of Energy and National Alliance for Water Innovation grant to part the brackish sea in order to meet the mounting freshwater demands of inland cities, and helping Auburn lead the nation in desalin...

When it comes to expanding our understanding of computer science's relationship to music theory — and heck, maybe even vice versa — nothing matches the Persian powered pedagogy of Fatemah Jamshidi.  Listen to the CSSE doctoral student and director of Auburn University's Persian Music Ensemble discuss the relationship between her two research passions on the latest episode of the award-wi...

Out in the real world you'll do your thing. You'll serve your fellow man with your degree.  So, once we've all said goodbye, you'll take a runnin' leap and you'll learn to fly...  So, bye, bye Li'l Sebastien. We'll miss your engineering passion.  So, bye, bye Li'l Sebastien... You're another win for the Ginn.

A great name. A great mane. A heart for others. An engineer without borders. Learn how biosystems engineering junior and Auburn EWB chapter president Justus Smith is truly doing his part for the American Way.

The dark, destructive tendencies of Chris Scheinert's youth have lay hidden for years. But thankfully, this 2016 chemical engineering grad and Young Alumni Council networking committee chair overcame his demons thoroughly enough to start a career in process automation in Singapore and Austin, Texas. More recently, he's returned to school, this time at Vanderbilt University, where he&apos...

Tiny mics . Big dreams. Enjoy this conversation with sophomore Katie Day, whose passion for sustainability and alternative energy prompted her to pursue a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering as well as minors in nuclear power generation systems and sustainability studies. And of course she's a Cupola. 

Two syllables. Endless potential. Ladies and gentlemen, aerospace engineering senior Preet Shah. 

When you think of unsteady separated flows over rotating wings, multi-rotor aeromechanics, biomechanics of avian gust interactions, plume-surface interactions, pulsatile droplet-laden flows, heart valve flows, and respiratory diseases, who's the first person that comes to mind? Yeah, exactly. Ladies and gentlemen, Vrishank Raghav. 

You're about to hear a pavement probin' powerhouse drop all kinds of science to prove he's among the tallest of the asphalt giants. It's him, it's him, it's David Timm. 

Kate Preston is a junior in chemical engineering. And she's your new Miss Auburn. Enjoy! 

Her name is Arabic for "happiness." And boy has civil engineering master's student Afrah Kahn finally found herself at Auburn. 

Why is Allyson McKinney the bee's knees? Because her company's technology can find the bee's knees. From like 15 meters away. Traditional radar? Traditional radar can barely identify a full grown human being from that distance. So it's no wonder that the SoloPulse founder and CEO was named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list for manufacturing and industry. Talk about creatin' a bu...

Haneen Ali is all about improving healthcare delivery processes with systems engineering. And football. Learn how the Jordanian dual appointment dynamo is using her pigskin passion to boost the research reputation of both the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering and Auburn's College of Liberal Arts on the latest episode of the best podcast in all of higher education. 

Lydia means "native of Lydia." But Lydia Mitchell isn't from ancient Greece. She's from Gordo. And she's is the latest guest on the award-winning #GINNing Podcast... for a dang good reason.

Don't let his last name fool you. Because there's no way this Disney-destined double-major dynamo's career is going to stall out. 

Friends, if you want a podcast that sticks the landing. Then you want a podcast with graduating senior in electrical and computer engineering Jacob Blanding .  (Emphasis on the sticks.)

If the story of recent computer science and software engineering graduates Donna Jackson and Jamie Whitehead tells us anything, it's that the world needs more mothers. And motherboards.

Pooriya Nezhadfar is his name. Process structure property relationships is his game. Find out just why GE Aerospace named the latest kudos-collecting luminary to emerge from NCAME as its lead additive manufacturing specialist before he even earned his PhD. From dust to thrust, this guy's a must.
