Princeton Engineers: Graduate Students

Princeton Engineers

Graduate students at Princeton Engineering learn to define creative, high-impact research projects and to pursue those projects with a combination of independent work and fruitful collaborations.

Each student’s story is different but a common motivation is the desire to harness science and technology to achieve a wide and positive impact. The students featured below reflect a small fraction of the diverse expertise and backgrounds that form the Princeton Engineering community.
