Smita Bhogle Class of 2023, April 13, 2026

Location: Atlanta, GA, USA; Educational Background: B.S. Mechanical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology; Current Employment: Incoming Gas Power Engineering Intern at GE Vernova; Manufacturing Engineering Intern at Raytheon (Summer 2025); Prototyping Instructor & TA at Georgia Tech; Contact Information: smitanbhogle@gmail.com

I am currently studying abroad in France! I've been able to travel to so many new countries and practice my French (thank you Mme Wildfong!).

Currently, I am a Prototyping Instructor and Director of Safety at the Invention Studio @ GT, the largest student-run maker space in the USA. I train members of the Georgia Tech community on advanced fabrication tools, including waterjets, laser cutters, and MIG/TIG welders. I also manage the space through routine safety audits and machine maintenance. I love teaching people new skills and continuously learning new skills myself!

Additionally, I am a teaching assistant for the sophomore mechanical design course. I help students design and build autonomous robots and assist professors with preparing course materials and running the final competition.

At my past internship, I designed a parametric CAD model and manufacturing-ready drawing for a reusable shipping crate used on every shipment of a radar component. I also designed CAD models and production drawings for engineering tools used on the manufacturing floor daily. I worked in cross-functional engineering teams to identify issues in a human-operated assembly tool and designed CAD updates to eliminate failure modes. I liked working on multiple projects and designing solutions that helped make operators' lives easier.

This summer, I will be supporting the development of sustainable energy solutions through the gas power engineering division at GE Vernova!

Annie Allan Class of 2003, April 9, 2026

Location: Los Angeles, CA, USA; Educational Background: BA in Biology and Masters in Public Health from University of Rochester, Medical School and Residency in General Surgery at Touro/NYMC, Case Western for Fellowship in Trauma, Emergency Surgery and Critical Care; Current Employer: Desert Trauma Surgeons; Contact Information: aallan@gmail.com.

I am married and live in Los Angeles with my wonderful husband and two border collies. I love the ocean and warm weather.

I am a trauma surgeon, emergency general surgeon and critical care intensivist. I love the fast paced environment and thinking on my feet and most of all I love caring for very sick patients and tackling disasters.

Sarah Bricault Class of 2007, April 8, 2026

Location: Waltham, MA, USA.; Educational Background: Swarthmore College BA with Honors, MIT PhD in Neurobiology; Current Employment: MIT Department of Biological Engineering; Contact Information: sbricau1@gmail.com.

I married my lovely wife Autumn Turner in October 2025!

I recently started a new position at MIT, where I am a combination Research Scientist II and Lab Manager for the Jasanoff Lab. My work focuses on using MRI and functional MRI to better understand the brain in preclinical models.

Sarah Duquette Class of 2016, April 8, 2026

Location: Bremerton, WA, USA; Educational Background: WPI, B.S./M.S. Mechanical Engineering; Current Employment: Deep Isolation; Contact Information: sarahlynnduq122@gmail.com

I was a nuclear submarine officer for five years and moved cross-country. Now I work in the civilian sector, have a house and a husband and a dog, and love to hike and travel.

I am a Nuclear Waste Engineer specializing in deep borehole disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. I work with a passionate team to solve a problem that's been ignored for years, paving the way for more implementation of sustainable nuclear energy and climate neutrality. I love innovating and coming up with unique technical solutions.
