  • Peyton Anderson, undergraduate, mechanical engineering
  • Isaac Gerner, undergraduate, computer science
  • Calvin Irvine, undergraduate, electrical engineering
  • Abe Benelmadjat, PhD student, mechanical engineering
  • Faria Hoque Bhuiya, MS student, mechanical engineering
  • Sammie Omranian, PhD student, computer science
  • Isaac Wolf, ’24 BS mechanical engineering

In addition to Associate Dean Andy Graettinger, CEAS faculty on hand were:

  • Ali Abedi, UWM Vice Provost for Research and professor, electrical engineering
  • Alex Yasha Yi, CSI Director of Research and professor, electrical engineering
