Jordan Ellington โ14 is making an impact at the intersection of engineering, innovation and the future of energy. ๐
After graduating summa cum laude in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M, Ellington built his career from Chevron to his current role as executive vice president and asset manager at Matador Resources, where he champions emerging technologies and supports the next generation of engineers.
Hereโs to Ellingtonโs continued impact on engineering, energy and future Aggies! ๐ช
Strong partnerships open doors to global opportunities. ๐๐ช
Halliburton and the Halliburton Foundation are expanding their support for Texas A&M Engineeringโs global programs, building on an 11-year collaboration to prepare students for careers in an increasingly connected world.

Leadership goes beyond the classroom! ๐
Through the Zachry Leadership Program, students come together for retreats filled with shared experiences, new perspectives and opportunities to grow as leaders.
These are the moments that turn a cohort into a community! ๐ซ
From overcoming adversity to joining our Samsung Emerging Engineer Development program, Samantha Mertonโs journey is a testament to perseverance and the power of workforce investment.

From neurons to materials, researchers are exploring new ways to rethink computing.
Dr. Perla Balbuena and Dr. Alejandro Aviles Sanchez are studying how electrons and ions move through metal-organic frameworks, uncovering a microscopic mechanism that could help researchers design materials with the adaptive electrical behavior needed for next-generation neuromorphic technologies.

Anthony J. โTonyโ Best โ72 is a true example of Aggie leadership and service. ๐
With more than 40 years in the energy industry, Best has built a distinguished career while continuing to give back through nonprofit service and his connection to Texas A&M as a Distinguished Alumnus.
Cheers to Bestโs remarkable career and a lifetime of service to others and Texas A&M! ๐
Can AI get brain rot, too? ๐ง
Turns out, junk data can lead to โthought skippingโ in AI models, causing them to skip steps in their reasoning. Texas A&M Engineering researchers are working to help AI think more reliably, starting with better data.

This week's #SaturdayShoutout goes to Hezekiah Reddell '27! ๐
Through Formula Electric and FREE, Hezekiah has found opportunities to grow as an engineer while building lasting connections with fellow Aggies.
He describes his #TAMUengr experience as "unforgettable," crediting the support of his friends and classmates for helping him persevere through every challenge.

For Dr. Ravi Thyagarajan, sustainability isnโt just a classroom topic โ itโs an engineering challenge. ๐ฑ๐ช
Through hands-on projects, he helps Aggie engineers turn renewable energy concepts into solutions that can improve lives. From solar-powered shelters to an electric race car, his students have been able to build and test their solutions.

What started as a concept became a competition-ready drone in just eight months. ๐โ๏ธ
Led by aerospace engineering professor Dr. Moble Benedict, a team of students designed and built a drone capable of carrying more than twice its own weight across four nautical miles in just 12 minutes at the first-ever DARPA Lift Challenge.

What made Dean Bishop want to become an engineer? What does he think is the greatest engineering marvel? And what advice does he have for students looking for opportunities at @TAMU?
We covered those questions and a few others, including one about a certain secret talent. ๐๏ธ
In 2019, Nathan Bliss shared his brotherโs journey with a rare genetic condition inspired his dream of becoming a physician-scientist.
Today, he's graduated from medical school and is beginning the next chapter of that dream.

For John Hayes, finding his place in space research meant changing course.
Now a @NASA fellow, Hayes studies how disorientation in changing gravity can affect astronautsโ ability to pilot and dock spacecraft, using VR and vestibular stimulation to recreate those effects on Earth. ๐งโ๐
From pre-med to aerospace research, his path wasnโt a straight line, but each turn helped shape the researcher he is today.

Last week, state legislative staffers visited Texas A&M Engineering for a firsthand look at what makes our college so special.
From Engineering Academies across Texas to opportunities in College Station, weโre preparing engineers to lead with innovation and service to make a meaningful impact.
We are grateful for the support of our state that helps Texas A&M Engineering continue building a stronger future for Texas and beyond!
Consider this your official proof that you BTHO 90 HOURS! ๐๐
From the late nights, tough exams, big projects and everything in between... you made it. Now go show off that ring, #TAMUengr Aggies! ๐
