Alumni

Dear Tufts Engineering Graduate:

Spring semester is off to a great start!

We are bringing some exciting new collaborative research spaces online. Faculty and graduate students from three departments are happily engaged in our new Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Computation, housed at 196 Boston Avenue. Thanks to all who attended the grand opening of the ILC in November. We're also pleased to announce the opening of our new Environmental Sustainability Laboratory in Anderson Hall, supported by funding from the National Science Foundation.
In faculty news, Professor Karen Panetta (ECE) was honored by President Obama with a Presidential Award for Excellence in Mentoring and three of our senior faculty members were recently named Fellows of their professional societies: Professor Diane Souvaine (CS), Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery; Associate Dean Eric Miller (ECE), Fellow of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers and Professor Fio Omenetto (BME), Fellow of the Optical Society of America. Read more about our engineers' accomplishments in this issue.

We'll be hosting our annual Alumni-Student Career Networking Night on February 27. Please be sure to join us if you're in the area. We hope to see you on campus in the spring!

Best regards,

Linda M. Abriola
Dean of Engineering
