College of Engineering Advisors

Mary Steiner and Rowie Wolfe


Head Fellows

Tor Holck

Tor is a Senior in Mechanical Engineering, and although he previously had minors in entrepreneurship and CS he has reevaluated his choices having gotten tired of them both. Recently he's dabbled in robotics and electrical engineering working for the Autonomous Robotics Perception Group. 

Outside the windowless walls of the Engineering Center, Tor is an avid cyclist, racing in a variety of disciplines for the CU team on a national level. He's taken a selfie with Bill Nye the Science Guy,  enjoys fired rice, and has been chased by a group of very aggressive ducks through Ecuador which he did try to pepper spray. 

Cassie Sterns

Cassie is a Senior studying Computer Science, with a minors in Chemistry and Leadership Studies. This will be her third year being an Engineering Fellow.

She has experience working most recently for Garmin doing DevOps Software Engineering and formerly for Lockheed Martin where she created automated solutions for Space flight hardware, Cybersecurity testing, and much more

She is also a mountain biker on the CU cycling team, enjoys distance running, being outdoors, and chocolate.

Blake Raphael

I’m Blake, a senior Computer Science student. I’m a Colorado native who returned home after spending my first two years of college in Wisconsin playing college lacrosse and pursuing a double major in computer science and data science. Since transferring to Boulder I’ve dropped the data science major and picked up a business minor. I work for the women's lacrosse team here now and am involved heavily in the athletics department. In my free time I love all things outdoors but I am a sucker for a good movie or video game. 

Bryce Kaese

Bryce has just graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mathematics, and continues to pursue his graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering. As a second year fellow, he is looking forward to continue to help out younger students wherever he can! Outside of school, he enjoys working at the Snooze on Pearl St., hiking, reading, and relaxing.

Caitlyn Rogers

Caitlin is a sophomore studying Chemical and Biological Engineering and is excited to discover all the opportunities for groundbreaking research, particularly regarding cancer. Born and raised in Boulder, she enjoys all outdoor activities, including soccer, hiking, cycling, skiing, and picnicking with friends. In her free time, she loves to bake and decorate cakes, her favorite being a raspberry cake with lemon cream cheese frosting!

Denali Jah

Hello! I'm Denali Jah, a 3rd-year undergraduate pursuing a Bachelor's in Engineering Physics with a minor in Applied Mathematics. My academic journey is marked by a rich blend of disciplines, spanning Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, High Energy Physics, and STEM education. Currently, I am honored to collaborate with Professor Nagle as an undergraduate assistant, actively engaged in research focused on uncovering the fascinating properties of Quark Gluon Plasma. 

Elizabeth Root

Elizabeth is a junior majoring in Biomedical Engineering with a minor in business. Outside of class she loves being outdoors, listening to music, and having dance parties. She hopes to make studying engineering a more uplifting and collaborative environment! 

Esther San Diego

Hello, my name is Esther, and despite my last name, I am not from San Diego. I was raised in Tennessee until I moved to the mountains of Colorado 9 years ago, and I've been living there since. I'm currently a junior studying Creative Technology and Design with a minor in music, I play clarinet in CU's marching band, and sing in choir. During my free time, I like to run, hike, practice music, bake, journal, paint, plan world domination, and spend time with my friends and family.

Evelyn Hoffman

Evelyn (She/They) is a Junior in Environmental Engineering taking classes in MCEN, EBIO, GIS, APPM, and any other department that will accept her. You can usually find her engaging and leading the LGBTQ+ community on campus, knitting/crocheting, or hiking. She's also an intern for the Environmental Protection Agency.

Ian McLeod

Ian McLeod is a sophomore in Integrated Design Engineering (mechanical emphasis) who is also pursuing a minor in Spanish. He wants to study abroad for a semester if he can, and hopes to volunteer with Engineers Without Borders. While not slaving away studying, he enjoys swimming, climbing, intramural sports, and a good board game night.

Olivia Ward

Olivia, a senior studying mechanical engineering with a minor in physics, chose dynamic equations over dégagés when she got offered a trainee contract with Sarasota ballet. While she occasionally regrets choosing theoretical physics over actual physics (ballet), her unwavering passion for movement remains undeniable. When she's not doing homework or dancing, she's probably hiking, sleeping, or cooking garlic pasta!

Rui Wen

Rui Wen is a junior majoring in Computer Science. Aside from his classes, he enjoys picking up random, occasionally interesting hobbies, like CAD, 3D printing, digital design and editing, and sticker making, with things that actually relate to his major also somewhere in that mix. 

Tegan Bartholomew Brown

Tegan is a senior majoring in mechanical engineering. When she’s not trying to figure out what set of assumptions make a Navier-Stokes problem solvable, she enjoys running too far and hanging out with her dogs (she’ll show you pictures if you come to her fellows review sessions!) Tegan is also deeply passionate about eating tiramisu and lying on the floor, preferably at the same time post-run. She’s looking forward to a fantastic year meeting new people and helping engineering students crush their classes!
