I had the privilege of profiling 10 MIT graduate students. As you’ll see, each have unique backgrounds and significant accomplishments. Read about budding researchers, emerging entrepreneurs, a Dominican chemist, an Iranian synthetic biologist, a U.S. Navy Officer turned political scientist, an architect researcher, a father thwarting cyberterrorism, a couple of aerospace engineers with interests outside of flying machines, and a French economist that loves people more than numbers, to name a few. There are students already with major publications and, of course, students at the cusp of their potential — people you’ll want to watch as they step into the professional world.
