Featuring Rikhi Roy, 2019 Brooke Owens Fellow
Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering graduate student Rikhi Roy and alumnus Oscar Klempay have been selected for this year’s Aviation Week Network’s 20 Twenties program. The prestigious honor is awarded to top young students and graduates in the field of aerospace and defense engineering. The program, according to the network, brings together students, technology hiring managers, and faculty worldwide to recognize what’s needed for business and academic growth and success.
Aviation Week Network selects from students around the world, who are nominated by their universities, to join the annual program. Winners are chosen based on their research and educational contributions to their communities, academic performance, and aerospace-related career aspirations.
Roy and Klempay will be honored at an October event in Virginia with their fellow recipients. The goal of the program, according to the organizer, is to allow award winners to build a network of technical experts who have built the aerospace industry, while introducing them to hiring managers looking for the next generation of aerospace talent.
