“Planning for the future is smart, but it’s so important to live in the present. Stressing about the future can blind you, and there is so much beauty in the world around us,” says second year MSE PhD candidate Hector Grande. “Since starting this program, I’ve learned that the first answer is usually not the right answer. Of course, when I turn to #Google for help, my curiosity leads me down a rabbit hole. There is just so much information out there!” “My research is focused on creating a new power source for cities. I work in Prof. Basu (ME, MSE)’s lab and we are developing solid oxide fuel cell and electrolyzer cell technology. We are determining microstructures and quantifying the properties that correspond to high performing cells.” “I was remote last year and met a ton of people through student organizations, like SAGE and GSO. I actually have leadership roles in those groups this year!” “I highly recommend students participate in SAGE and the MSE Peer Mentorship Program. These programs really help!” Fun fact? “I spent 2 months in the jungles of Belize! My experience inspired me to apply to graduate school for materials science & engineering!” Picture 1: Hector riding around Boston.
