A Tech Forward Education
Stevens gave me the unique opportunity to blend my civil and environmental engineering background and my passion for the coast. I did research in coastal engineering which is not offered at many other schools in the area, and studied ferry wakes in the Hudson River while monitoring sediment movement on a beach. I was involved in field work collecting data with a variety of marine instruments.

Ocean Engineering Graduate
Stevens, for the past decade, has been producing cutting edge research techniques involving climate change and the coastline. It has been neat to be a part of a program that is doing so much beneficial work for the surrounding coastal communities. This year, I hope to publish my research on the New Jersey Wave Climate and participate in an internship at a Coastal Engineering firm.

During my master’s research I obtained my FAA Remote Pilot Certification to be able to use drones to collect ariel topography data. In doing so I gained a lot of experience using drones in the marine environment, which qualified me for an internship with the USACE’s Field Research Facility.
