Andrew Acevedo of Wellington, a graduate of Suncoast High School, recently completed his bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering at Washington University in St. Louis.
Acevedo was consistently on the Dean’s List and participated in several prestigious internships during his four years at Washington University, including 12 weeks in Germany at the Peter-Grünberg Institute & Jülich Aachen Research Alliance for Fundamentals of Future Information Technology (JARA-FIT), where he was a contributing author of a paper written for the International Conference of Noise and Fluctuations in France, detailing the findings of his team’s research dealing with “Noise and Transport Characteristics of Silicon Nanowire Field Effect Transistors with Liquid Gate.”
Acevedo was accepted at several top-ranked graduate programs, including Harvard and Georgia Tech. He has decided to attend Boston University in the fall to pursue a doctorate in biomedical engineering. He was awarded the Distinguished Biomedical Engineering Fellowship, which will fund up to five years of his ongoing education.
