GLASS Project

The projects for Tandon Honors students in the Global Leaders & Scholars in STEM program consists of a culmination of various experiences, research, and interests related to the Tandon Areas of Research Excellence. Scholars are also required to address the NAE Grand Challenges and think about the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals when doing so. At the end of the 3 years in the GLASS Program, students have a better understanding of the impact they can have on changing the world for the better. GLASS students enter the world as globally competent and socially responsible innovators and engineers!

My mission is to use software, vertical farming techniques, and multidisciplinary cooperation to address global food sustainability issues. This includes exploring the fields of cybersecurity, automation, sustainability and environmental science.

Life on Land and Good Health and Well-Being are two important UN Development Goals that my GLASS studies have centered around. Life on Land aims to protect natural land habitats and ecosystems from further degradation and halt biodiversity loss, and Good Health and Well-Being aims to increase health and well-being for everyone.
