Student Program Staff

Nick is a Computer Engineering and Computer Science student at Northeastern. He has been interested in STEM since elementary school and has had years of experience working with children as a counselor at his local Boys and Girls Club. He currently works at the Center for STEM Education helping with office work. He is a member of the Avionics subdivision of Project Karman for AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Outside of academics, Nick enjoys biking, basketball, hiking, traveling, and working with computers.

Brittany is a physical therapy student (2021), pursuing a minor in computer science. She has been interested in STEM since she enrolled in a pre-engineering high school. Now she enjoys being able to continue to be involved with technology and engineering even though she chose not to major in either of those particular fields.

Brittany is involved with preparing for and helping out during field trips as well as doing research about new activities that the Center could implement. Outside of the Center, she enjoys programming (but at a very basic level right now) and doing anything involving crafting and creativity. She is especially excited about the emerging concept of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math).

Brian is an aspiring Chemical Engineer at Northeastern University. Brian has always been interested in the STEM fields and is involved in the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), Chemical Engineering Car Competition (ChemE Car), the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), and Northeastern's Program for Teaching by Undergraduates (NEPTUN). Brian is also currently working with a the Occupational Biomechanics and Ergonomics Research Lab Group. Brian enjoys biking, travelling, and learning random (seemingly) useless information.

Sophie Philibert is a mechanical engineering student (2021). She has always been interested in STEM and has been doing science experiments in her free time since she was a child. Since her sophomore year of high school, Sophie has worked as a private tutor for middle school students struggling in math, science, and English. She became involved in the Center for STEM as a first year student volunteering at field trips. She is now in charge of organizing materials for the field trip activities, helping lead activities, and collecting feedback from students and teachers on the field trip experience. In her first year at Northeastern, she was a Gordon CenSSIS Scholar and conducted computer science research under Professor David Kaeli. Over her spring break, she volunteered installing solar panels for low-income families in California through GRID Alternatives. In her free time, Sophie enjoys playing the violin, cooking, and hiking.
