Bryan Native Honored

A Bryan native recently received a very high honor.

Robert Lowe, son of Kris­tine Lowe of Bryan and the late Robert Lowe, has been named a recip­i­ent of a Pres­i­den­tial Fel­low­ship, the most com­pet­i­tive and pres­ti­gious award given by the grad­u­ate school at The Ohio State Uni­ver­sity.

The Bryan Times says Lowe, a 1999 grad­u­ate of Bryan High School, earned his bach­e­lor of sci­ence degree in mechan­i­cal engi­neer­ing from Ohio North­ern Uni­ver­sity in 2003 and his master’s in mechan­i­cal engi­neer­ing from The Ohio State Uni­ver­sity in 2005.

He is a Ph.D. can­di­date in the Depart­ment of Mechan­i­cal and Aero­space Engi­neer­ing at Ohio State and will grad­u­ate this fall. At Ohio State, he has taught numer­ous under­grad­u­ate and grad­u­ate engi­neer­ing sources, has been pub­lished in jour­nals, served on var­i­ous com­mit­tees and co-authored a text book enti­tled “Fun­da­men­tals of Con­tin­uum Mechanics.”
