Graduate Students Profiles
Luke MacDonald
Princeton is an exciting place to be. I am very happy with my choice to join the department and the EEWR program for graduate study. Here, I find good research opportunities, and great flexibility in course and research topics, allowing me to spend time on the things that interest me most.
Spencer Quiel
When I was applying to civil engineering graduate schools, it wasn’t hard to like what Princeton had to offer. The university is one of the most academically prestigious institutions in the world and offers many diverse opportunities to learn how engineering relates to the modern world.
Bernice Rosenzweig
As a graduate student at Princeton, I have both the freedom to pursue my own research interests and the support of faculty that are among the best in the world.
I am studying nitrogen cycling in stormwater detention ponds and the potential use of these infrastructure in reducing stormwater nitrogen loads in urban areas.
Ashley Thrall
My undergraduate education was in physics, but after taking several years off after graduation I realized that Civil Engineering more fully matched my interests. As I started researching graduate programs, I came across Prof. David Billington’s book The Tower and the Bridge -- a text that focuses on structural art and the special opportunities that engineers have to design structures that are efficient, economic, and elegant. After reading this text, I immediately contacted Prof. Billington and discussed the possibility of working with him as a graduate student.
