Hear from Our Faculty & Students
Michael Doane '19Chemical Engineering, BiologyHonors student Michael Doane has won several prestigious fellowships and scholarships for his cancer-related and biofuel research. He says UMass Lowell does a great job of structuring both classes and learning experiences that build on one another.
There are so many different programs and entities that all build on each other and combine to give you anything you’re willing to get out of your undergraduate experience.
Grace Chin '20Computer ScienceGreat classes and research experience, a professional co-op and a cybersecurity competition are preparing Grace Chin for professional success.
I really lucked out coming to UMass Lowell. I think it’s a hidden gem for computer science.
Ericka Boudreau '22Environmental, Earth and Atmospheric SciencesEarth System Science Ph.D. student Ericka Boudreau is on her way to becoming a triple River Hawk.
I enrolled in the Ph.D. program because I loved the research I was doing and wanted to continue to develop those skills.
Deepak Bhimani '62, '63ChemistryDeepak Bhimani's love of chemistry led him to pursue a degree in chemical textiles at Lowell Textile Institute. His education resulted in the creation of several successful companies, and spurred a desire to give back to the University.
