🛰 “I build satellites.... well, I’ve built one at this point, but that one satellite has been a huge learning playground! We launched it in September on a NASA rocket,” says .meche PhD candidate Emil Atz.

🌞”My advisor is Professor Brian Walsh (ME, ECE). Specifically, I work on small satellite instrumentation to study Earth's magnetic environment and its interactions with the sun.”

“When I think about my time here at BU, I am most proud of the friends I have made. I also really appreciate the students I’ve mentored. It’s extremely satisfying to watch people succeed.”

🔭Emil is part of the Center for Space Physics Program and expects to graduate in Spring 2022. “I’ve learned two key life lessons: 1. appreciate making progress rather than solely focusing on the final product and 2. Ask for help.”

✨”My career goal is simple. I’m happy now and I want to continue being happy. I hope life after graduation is as good as life before graduation!”

🌟What else can you tell us?
“I got married a few weeks ago! My wife Delaney and I live in Groveland, MA. We have a German Shorthaired Pointer named Pete.” 🎉🐶

⛷”I LOVE skiing. Unfortunately, my body is telling me to stop skiing so hard…”

Juncheng (Andy) Zhang is a senior in the BME program, working in the Growth Factor Mechanobiology Lab with Prof. Michael Albro (ME, MSE, BME) on anything from device development and software programming to cartilage diagnostics and biochemical assays.

As a result of his experience in the lab, .zjc plans to pursue a PhD after graduation.

“Working in this lab has been one of the most important experiences in my life,” says Andy.

“I learned about the beauty and the excitement of real research. Professor Albro is so passionate about his work and it drives me to try my best all the time.”

🗣 Prof. Albro on Andy’s contributions in the lab:
“It has been quite an impressive undertaking for any student, let alone an undergraduate. He deserves much credit for the progress we have made over the course of the last year.”

⭐️ Andy will start his Senior Design project this year and is excited to team up with some of his best friends .kimchi.boy and

To cure heart disease, Emma Lejeune (ME) uses software and computational methods to develop new medicine and artificial tissue.

The American Heart Association just recognized Lejeune's progress in this area by selecting her as the 2021 Career Development Award recipient!

“We’re developing open-source software for analyzing images and movies of heart cells,” says Lejeune, whose career goal is to lead the field in computational discovery for cardiovascular research.

“It’s a technology that could enable all sorts of other technologies that have real applications and it’s very cool that the is funding that process.”

Research collaborators include, Christopher Chen (BME, MSE), Bill Zhao (ME MS candidate), and Kehan Zhang (PhD alum ’20).
