Juwon Ajayi
Student / Scholar
I am a senior at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. I am majoring in Computer Engineering student with a double track in Communications and electronic systems and minoring in entrepreneurship. I am also the current President of UMBC's chapter of Engineers Without Borders, and I have been involved with UMBC's McNair Scholars as a Scholar Develop Ambassador. I am also a member of UMBC's McNair Scholars Program, the Grand Challenge Scholars Program, and UMBC's chapter of IEEE. My Grand Challenge is Making Solar Energy Economical. I joined the Grand Challenges Scholar because of my desire to become more than just an engineer that works for a company instead of driving the changes around me. I also joined the program to get the chance to interact with other engineering students outside of my major. After graduating from UMBC, I will be pursuing my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering starting in. I hope to eventually work for the Department of Energy, and hopefully become a professor!
