Amar Mukunda
Masters Student in Engineering, admitted Winter 2024
BioAmar Mukunda pursued his Master's degree in Energy and Infrastructure Engineering. Amar's overall focus is developing strategies to meet America's 21st century energy and infrastructure needs while alleviating poverty the country's most economically challenged communities. Amar's degree is focused on both the technical engineering aspects of a broad range of zero carbon technologies as well as the finance and legal aspects of building large energy projects.
Amar previously served Assistant Director of Roca, one of Maryland's premier gun violence prevention programs, where he ran the organization's workforce development and and education teams. Through his role at Roca Amar was a Bloomberg fellow at Johns Hopkins University working on understanding gun violence and addiction from a public health perspective. From 2015-2016 Amar was a Fulbright Scholar researching artificial intelligence and machine learning in the field of natural language processing. He graduated from Amherst College Magna Cum Laude in 2015 with majors in Computer Science and Geology. -
Luke Neal
Masters Student in Chemical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2025
BioI'm currently a process engineer at Merck working at the Formulation and Laboratory Experimentation Facility with a focus on oral solid dosage production. I recently graduated from Yale University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Chemical Engineering and an Energy Studies certificate. At Yale, I was on the Varsity Men's Tennis team. My internship experiences during undergraduate studies included working as a Process Engineering Intern in ExxonMobil’s Technology and Engineering division. I was focused on modeling the extraction of battery grade lithium from brine. I also gained experience in the renewable energy and green engineering fields though my internships at Tesla and West Environmental.

Sabrina Nicacio
Masters Student in Aeronautics and Astronautics, admitted Autumn 2025
BioSabrina Nicacio is a Knight-Hennessy Scholar and graduate student in Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University, specializing in Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC). She earned her B.S.E. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University with a Minor in Robotics and Intelligent Systems.
Sabrina has delivered technical results across leading aerospace institutions—designing flight hardware for Starship launch operations at SpaceX, developing multi-robot navigation algorithms for NASA JPL’s CADRE lunar mission at Stanford, and improving heat treatment processes for 3D-printed turbine blades at MIT. Her senior thesis at Princeton introduced a fuel-optimal reconfiguration framework for satellite swarms, applying convex optimization to orbital dynamics.
Sabrina is focused on building scalable, autonomous systems for spacecraft coordination and precision navigation. Her work reflects a deep technical foundation and a drive to solve mission-critical challenges in spaceflight. -
Frederick U Nitta
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2024
BioFrederick received his B.S. with EE and Chemistry from Stanford (2024), alongside a co-term in MSE (2024) at Stanford. He completed his EE honors thesis with Prof. Krishna Saraswat and Prof. Eric Pop on the efficiency limits of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) solar cells, receiving the Firestone Medal for Excellence in Undergraduate Research. He is now pursuing his Ph.D. in EE, on 3R-phase TMDs and their bulk photovoltaic effect, and on the physics and applications of transition metal oxides. He is co-advised by Prof. Eric Pop and Prof. Andrew Mannix.

Pablo Nuñez Martinez
Masters Student in Aeronautics and Astronautics, admitted Autumn 2025
BioPablo Nuñez Martínez is a first-year M.S. student in Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University. He earned his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Tecnológico de Monterrey, where he graduated with academic honors and founded ELYOS Racing Team, a student initiative dedicated to designing ultra-efficient vehicles. Under his leadership, ELYOS raised over $100,000 USD in sponsorships, placed 4th at the Shell Eco-marathon Americas in both 2024 and 2025, and achieved major aerodynamic and structural advances through CFD-driven optimization and composite lightweighting. He also contributed to McGill Formula Electric in Montréal, where he worked on aerodynamics and chassis design, developing composite monocoque concepts, CFD-based downforce devices, and optimization codes for laminate theory using genetic algorithms.
Pablo’s academic and research interests include aerodynamics, lightweight structures, advanced composite materials, and spacecraft systems. He is particularly interested in the development of next-generation aerospace vehicles that integrate aerodynamic efficiency, adaptability, and sustainability. His long-term goal is to contribute to the design of innovative space systems and sustainable technologies that push the boundaries of aerospace engineering. -
