One of the things I cherish most about my time at MIT is the relationships I was fortunate enough to develop, with some of the most brilliant technical minds. Together we not only grew into skilled researchers, but built bonds based on mutual accountability and support. We studied together, partied together, provided listening ears after frustrating days in the lab, advice after unsure interactions with advisors, and showed up whenever and where ever needed - for presentation practice session, start-up launches, and post victory celebrations. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and this is true for scientists and engineers as well. I grateful to my friends for the example they set for me, for their motivation and for their love.
