2017: Anca Radulescu (Mathematics)
Anca Rădulescu was chosen for the mentor award because she is committed to providing students with a complete research experience, from the elaboration of the research project to the dissemination of their results. The outcome of Rădulescu’s undergraduate research projects is remarkable, with most of her projects leading to a publication. In mathematics, this is quite an achievement. Her recent mentee, Ariel Pignatelli (Mechanical Engineering, ’17), explained her work with Rădulescu “has been an important and memorable part of my experience……she approaches new problems and ideas with enthusiasm and dedication, and always makes me want to be a better student. I would not have seriously considered graduate school if it had not been for Dr. Rădulescu’s encouragement and guidance.”
