If you're like PhD student Nikolai Burton, you love the challenge of solving complex problems — and that makes Engineering the perfect fit. Nikolai's research tackles the environmental impacts of cooling buildings by exploring ways to improve dehumidification. “One of the things I really like about grad studies is seeing my designs come to life," he says. "If what I expected matches what’s actually happening, it’s the best feeling ever.”
