Many Congratulations Ankit Vivek Marathe (PCE Mechanical Engineering Batch of 2017) for graduating from Washington State University, Pullman with a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering.

I am pleased to announce that I have officially graduated from Washington State University, Pullman with a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering.

During my course, I got an opportunity to work under Dr. Sinisa Mesarovic, Sasa Kovacevic and Shahriar Safaee as an Instructional Associate (IA). Also, I had the pleasure to work with Dr. Lei Li as a Research Consultant on his project.

In these 2 years, I have learnt so much and I am truly humbled and grateful that I had the privilege to study under the guidance of some of the best professors in the Mechanical Department of WSU. Amit Bandyopadhyay, Bulent Arda Gozen, Lei Li, Anne Drobish-Shahat, etc.

Special thanks to my mentor Kameron Bumb (Hardware Engineering Director – Dfx, Microsoft Devices) for the immense support, time, advice, encouragement, patience and showing me the right path in order to achieve all my goals. Thank you Ayumi Manawadu and the SWE Industry Mentor Program.

You have been there day after day to make sure my life turned out this way. This one’s for you Mom and Dad. Thank you for everything!

I wouldn’t be where I am today without your help and support. Thanks a ton to my family and friends-
Aniket C Jadhav, Ketaki Bhosekar, Pranay Deshpande, etc.
