#ginning Podcast

Brad Christopher, ’91 and ’93 civil engineering, president of LBYD Engineers, may be the newest chair of the Auburn Alumni Engineering Council. But he's always been our chairman of... The Board. 

Listen as we lob softball questions to freshman mechanical engineering super slugger Bri Ellis on the latest episode of the award-winning #GINNing Podcast. 

iRacing.... is it blinking your eyes as fast as you can? A staring contest? Or virtually revving your engine like the big boys for an endurance test that apparently can literally break your wrists. You're not going to have to hold on for one more day to find out what Austin Wilson and Austin Phillips have to say about it. 

 Auburn chemical engineering doctoral candidate Mohammadjafar Hashemi's  tissue engineering research is helping to further medicine’s understanding of diabetes' often deadly impact on human heart function. As Wilford Brimley would say, it's the right thing to do. 

From catwalks to spacewalks. From wearing the crown to touching down. From Miss Hoover to Miss—ion Control, PoSSUM-loving Auburn ISE junior Jordan Carraway is ready to launch. 

Well, it turns out space wasn't the final frontier for Chris Crumbly, at least not under the banner of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. That's right, after 27 years at NASA, this multi-degree Auburn aerospace maestro went full private sector, savoring every last drop of Auburn's engineering nectar. 

"Amaya engineer? Absolutely."Listen to civil and environmental engineering sophomore Amaya De La Cruz discuss representation in STEM on the latest episode of the best podcast in all of higher education.

Scarborough. Jon Scarborough. This clay-killing, aerospace professor-sired senior is drawing a bead on life as an industrial and systems engineer. Want to learn more? PULL.

From wake boards to cosmic possums, Hannah Bartels is totally awesome. Find out why this biosystems-loving Brookie leans into every engineering challenge that comes her way. 

The helicopters need to shut up already, and Umberto Saetti is just the man to ensure they do.  

Listen to aerospace engineering senior Allison Timm discuss her hopes, her dreams and her dad. Oh, and her brother.  

Hey, you can only gain so much in Gainesville. We know that. Thankfully, for Kyle Schulze, Auburn Engineering was willing to imports them jorts, which has allowed the assistant professor in mechanical engineering to pursue everything he loved about Auburn's mission in more ways than one. 

Auburn chemical engineering freshman Sarah Kate Sligh has cerebral palsy. And a national swimming record. And a YouTube channel. And a spot on Auburn's wheelchair tennis team. And a bid from Delta Gamma. And the honor of being the latest guest on the best podcast in all of higher education. And better grades than her mom.

While other institutions were feelin' the 2020 pain, Steve Taylor was making it rain. Yessir, the Bluegrass-born, biosystems-bred associate dean of research has helped raise Auburn Engineering's research reputation to the tune of a record $76 million in new contracts and awards... during a pandemic. You wanna achieve? Then you want a Steve. 

Chemical engineering sophomore Anya McDaniel muses over the magic happening inside Auburn Engineering's new makerspace. 

Studying pedals and earning medals — that's what Jeff Lamondia does. The associate professor of civil and environmental engineering knows more the most about the rocky relationship between cyclists and motorists. And trust us when we say that there ain't nothing pedestrian about his research into pedestrians. Ready to share the road?

We needed a Cupola Engineering Ambassador superstar. And we got him. Enjoy this conversation with software engineering senior Raj Patel.  

Helen Lohr is her name, doing more is her game: Naval ROTC, equestrian and mechanical engineering — and those are just the highlights. So anchor down and saddle up as we learn all the lore of Helen Lohr (and what in the world Wawa is). 

Mechanical engineering senior Theresa Hardin tries hard in... everything. Robotic mining. Undergrad research. Building the future of prosthetics. Sorority life. Fund raising. Patent holding! Ladies and gentlemen, sit back and get your ears on for the Theresa Hardin Experience.
