In Dec. 2025 they became the first of our fellows to graduate. Jebril has taken a PhD student appointment with the University of Michigan Department of Electrical Engineering with a focus on optics and photonics. He is also the recipient of the prestigious Rackham Merit Fellowship. Olubukola has taken a role with COMPASS under our Veteran Assistantship Program and will serve as a program assistant with us until attending grad school this fall. Welcome to the team Olubukola!
Congratulations to our fellows Jebril Thaxton and Olubukola Akinbami!
