Congratulations to Dr Ceron
08/06/22: Big congratulations to Dr. Steven Ceron who successfully defended his PhD thesis in Mechanical Engineering today, on the topic of “Enabling Local-to-Global Behaviors in Collectives Across Length Scales“. Dr. Ceron is the first student out of the CEI-lab to earn his PhD and will be moving on to do a Postdoc with Prof. Rus at MIT in the Fall!
