Graduate Students Who Advanced to GRIE Finals Honored

The Office of Graduate Studies recognizes the fifty two students listed below who advanced to the Graduate Research Innovation Exchange (GRIE) Finals after the February Poster Competition. On February 12, more than 160 Master’s and PhD candidates shared their innovative and purposeful research with the WPI community as well as faculty, alumni, and industry judges. “While the finals could not take place this week, we honor those who received top scores during the first round of presentations” Terri Camesano, Dean of Graduate Studies said. “It’s a significant achievement and we’re proud to highlight these students.”
