Current Members

At LMST, we cultivate a dynamic community of students spanning diverse disciplines—including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, computer science, materials science, and physics. I firmly believe that genuine mastery in problem-solving stems from embracing challenges with a strong sense of ownership. From the outset of each project, my students embody this ethos with unwavering dedication. Their steadfast commitment and infectious enthusiasm continually inspire me, fueling my pursuit of excellence and motivating me to explore new frontiers. Together, we strive to shape a future defined by innovation, resilience, and boundless opportunity. Below is a list of current LMST members.
