Multidisciplinary Simulation, Estimation, and Assimilation Systems (MSEAS)

Alan Zhu

Alan is a sophmore at MIT from Rapid City, South Dakota, hoping to major in Mathematics with Computer Science and Writing. His first experience working in the lab was as a high school student in the 2018 Research Science Institute, where he worked on path planning methods for vehicles with energy collection. He returned to continue this research in the fall of 2019 as part of MIT’s UROP program. Outside of schoolwork and research, Alan enjoys reading, writing, and singing.

Jacob Heuss

Jacob is an MIT/WHOI joint program student who has been in the US Navy for 15 years having served on submarines, destroyers, and aircraft carriers. He completed his Bachelor of Science at Purdue University in Atmospheric Science. His areas of interest are reduced-order models. In his time outside of studies, he enjoys spending as much time with his wife and son as possible traveling throughout the US and abroad.

Congratulations to Ali Daher – Our first Rhodes Scholar!

MSEAS Super-UROP Ali Daher won the Rhodes Scholarship in the Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine region. Since September 2018, Ali has been working together with our MSEAS group, especially graduate students Wael Ali and Abhinav Gupta, on developing and learning a predictive mathematical model for the evolution of Glioblastoma Multiforme, a highly aggressive brain tumor. At Oxford, Ali intends to build on his multidisciplinary research career in mechanobiology. You can view the MIT News article about Ali here.
