Juwairiah Ahmad

BS, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Syracuse University

Project: Modeling heat transfer through green roof layers

Juwairiah is currently working on her MS degree in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in Sustainable Engineering at Syracuse University. Juwairiah’s research studied temperature profiles within and heat flux across the roofing system of the green-roof situated at the Nicholas J. Pirro Convention Center in downtown Syracuse, New York.

Pavle Bujanovic

BS, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Syracuse University

Pavle was born in Belgrade, Serbia where he lived the first 9 years of his life. In 1999, his family moved to the states due to the ethnic tensions going on in the Balkan peninsula. Since coming to America, his family has lived in Michigan, Wisconsin, and New York. They are currently living in Syracuse which allowed Pavle to attend and graduate from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Syracuse University in May 2012.  Pavle started graduate school at Stanford University in September 2012.

Janique Cheesman

BS, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Syracuse University

Janique graduated from Syracuse University with a B.S. in environmental engineering in 2012. She continued her studies at Villanova University in the fall of 2012 to pursue a M.S. in Sustainable Engineering. During the 2011-2012 academic year, Janique was mentored by Professor Davidson as part of the McNair Scholars program. Along with Professor Davidson and Carli Flynn, she worked on research that involved identifying misconceptions of science and engineering principles by engineering students.
