Major: Mechanical Engineering

Year: Freshman

High School: Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science

Biography:

In Esohe's time at Stony Brook, they plan on studying aerospace engineering and propulsion, as well as the uses of biological research in space travel. In Esohe's free time, she like to read, write, look at moon and planets, and do projects with her telescope. Before becoming a Simons STEM Scholar, Esohe participated in Dr. Neda Habibi's nanomedicine lab at the University of North Texas, where she studied drug delivery methods for breast cancer cells with microcontrollers. At Texas A&M University, she researched bioastronautics. She was the president and founder of her high school's astronomy club where they hosted star parties and built telescopes, as well as various projects building cars, robots, and rockets. 

Leading the Future:

"I see myself creating an environment that encourages interdisciplinary research that leads to innovations in space exploration and aerospace engineering. I hope to inspire others to pursue research by making higher education more accessible and encouraged."

Why did you become a Simons STEM Scholar?:

"I chose to become a SImons STEM Scholar because I have a passion for discovery and innovation as well as making STEM more accessible. I believe there are more than enough resources in the Simons STEM Scholars program to help me reach my full potential and achieve my ambitious goals."

What would you say to someone who is applying?:

"The program is not easy, but neither is STEM, and you have everything to gain by being a part of this program."
