About

Welcome, everyone! This is the home of the blog that I’ll be keeping over the next year to keep prospective Jumbos up to date on what goes on in the life of a Tufts student. I think it’s only logical that I start by telling you a little bit about myself.

I’m Matt, a rising senior in mechanical engineering with a minor in art history. At Tufts, I’ve been largely focusing on relating sustainability and environmental issues with my love of engineering and science. I lead the engineering facet of the Tufts University and Boston Architectural College entry in the 2009 Solar Decathlon, a Dept. of Energy sponsored competition to design and construct a house powered entirely by the sun. Shameless plug. Don’t worry, you’ll hear plenty from me about the Solar Decathlon as the competition in October quickly approaches. Also, I’m a member of the Tufts chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) as well as a member of Tau Beta Pi, the engineering honors society.

Outside of Tufts, I enjoy live music, trying to cook, and exploring Boston. You’ll hear a bit from all parts of my life over the course of the year and I’m completely open to what you want to hear more/less about, so keep the comments coming!

    Hi! I am from India. I am interested to study Chemical Engineering in Tufts University. I need to know details about the financial aid / scholarships available. Could you please help me finding out a few names of students studying or just passed out in Chemical Engineering Department?

    Thanks in advance.
