Ire Adaramola is a fourth year PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering, where her research focuses on
making machine learning more compatible with the clinical and biomedical domain. She is an NSF GRFP
fellow, and currently serves as the President and a graduate mentor for GradSWE. In her free time, she
enjoys biking, cooking, and painting!

Suraksha Tellakula is a second-year Masters student in the Chemical Engineering Program. Her research
focuses on pharmaceutical crystallization and drug delivery systems, with a broader interest in using
chemical engineering to solve real-world healthcare challenges. Outside the lab, she loves baking, doing art
and craft, exploring new places, spending time with friends and music.

Pallabi Chatterjee is a second-year PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering and the current
Academic Chair! Her current research focuses on the exploration of device and circuit topologies for nonvolatile memory, with the goal of faster access times and lower energy consumption. When she is not in
the lab, she enjoys travelling, painting, watching sports, cooking and doing music sessions with friends.

Didun Oladeji is a second-year PhD student in Materials Science and Engineering and the secretary for
GradSWE this year! Her current research focuses on investigating the structure of human bronchial
epithelial cell (HBE) mucus in pulmonary disease and with surfactant therapeutics for improved drug
delivery and similar applications. Outside of school, she enjoys rock climbing, hiking, kayaking and currently
learning how to cross-stitch and pottery.

Arta Osmani is a second-year PhD student in
Materials Science and Engineering, and is currently serving as one of the mentorship chairs! Her current research focuses on designing super-repellent surfaces
for textile coating applications using computational modeling. Outside of school, she enjoys baking, cooking,
being active, and learning to make pottery.

Aarushi Biswas is currently serving as one of the Mentorship chairs! She is a second-year MS student in
Computational Science and Engineering. Her current research focuses on combining wearable and smart
home data modalities to enhance human activity recognition models. Most recently, she has picked up crocheting and pottery. Outside of school, she enjoys cooking,
reading and different arts, and of course, hanging
out with friends and exploring new places and restaurants!

Michelle Kryl is a second-year PhD student in Ocean Science and Engineering and currently serving as the Design and
Communications Chair! Her current research integrates civil and environmental engineering with ocean
science allowing her to explore solutions for renewable energy through tidal energy resource assessments.
Outside of her education and research life, she enjoys playing volleyball, hiking, fishing, and any type of
artistic activity!

Rae Crim is the financial chair for GradSWE this year! She is a second year PhD student in
Electrical and Computer Engineering as a President’s and NSF GRFP fellow. She is an engineer and
biochemist and integrates both of her fields into her research, which is sensor design for conservation,
humanitarian, and agricultural applications. Some of her hobbies include hiking, creative writing, reading,
and cooking.

Fiza Shaikh is the Industry Chair for GradSWE and a second-year PhD student in Materials Science and
Engineering. She is a physicist by training, and her research focuses on understanding structure–property
relationships in conductive polymers and interfaces used in additive manufacturing. Outside of work, she
enjoys movies, museums, pottery, and swimming.
