In Memoriam

We wanted to take a moment to acknowledge two unexpected recent losses in our community. 

PhD student Michael Brand passed away on Sept. 4 in Boulder. Michael’s positive impact was  felt throughout the department through his research with Professor Kelvin Wagner; through his volunteerism with capstone projects, K-12 programs and recruitment events; and through his general kindness and support of his peers at the graduate and undergraduate level.

Ciara Jekel (ElEngr’20) passed away on Sept. 5 in Huntington Beach, California. Ciara was very involved in the department as an undergraduate and went on to pursue graduate studies at the University of California Davis. She was working as a firmware engineer at Pi-Lit, a technology start-up in Tustin, California.

Our thoughts are with Michael and Ciara’s family and friends during this difficult time.
