Congratulations to the Engineering and Computer Science students and faculty who were recognized at the One University Awards!

The award for Excellence in Student Research recognizes students who have engaged in collaborative research that has the potential to make a deep and lasting impact on greater society. This year’s recipients are Paul Sagoe, doctoral student in biomedical and chemical engineering and Sadie Meyer ’26, a biomedical engineering major.

Ruben Rojas Betanzos ’26, a biomedical engineering major and member of the men’s cross country team received a Student-Athlete Award.

The Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professorships for Teaching Excellence were created in 1995 to recognize and reward outstanding teaching among faculty. Shikha Nangia, Milton and Ann Stevenson Endowed Professor of Biomedical and Chemical Engineering, and chair of biomedical and chemical engineering was named as a 2026-29 Meredith Professor.

In 2001, the Meredith Professorship Program was expanded to recognize teaching excellence by non-tenured faculty and adjunct and part-time instructors. Awards are given in two categories: Early Performance and Continuing Excellence.

This year’s honorees in the Early Performance category included Kasey Laurent, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and João Paulo Oliveira Marum, assistant teaching professor of electrical engineering and computer science.
