Aadhi Mohanavelu Named a 2026 Purdue Trailblazers in Engineering Fellow

Congratulations to Aadhi Mohanavelu, who was selected as a 2026 Trailblazers in Engineering (TBE) Fellow by Purdue University’s College of Engineering!

The TBE program brings together a small cohort of late-stage PhD students and postdoctoral researchers preparing for careers as engineering faculty. Fellows are selected based on their scholarly accomplishments and their potential to contribute to the future of engineering research, education, and mentorship.

Aadhi joined the four-day program at Purdue, which included conversations with engineering faculty and federal research program managers, panels on building an academic career and securing early-career research funding, and a poster session where fellows presented their research and future faculty plans. Congratulations, Aadhi, on this well-deserved recognition!
