MAE Student Pursuing PhD at Brown University

David A. Stout

Undergraduate Aerospace Engineering student David A. Stout will be continuing his education at Brown University. A few weeks ago, David was offered and accepted admission to Brown University’s PhD Biomedical Engineering program with a full academic fellowship, where he will be studying under Dr. Thomas J. Webster. Dr. Webster directs the Nanomedicine Laboratory which design, synthesizes, and evaluates nonmaterial for cardiovascular, nerve, and orthopedic implant applications. At Brown, David hopes to use his aerospace education on a multidisciplinary approach to investigate new biomaterials for the cardiovascular system.
