Our students develop meaningful work to advance a sustainable campus at MIT and to build their professional experience in institutional transformation. We hire both undergraduate and graduate students to help shape the future of sustainability at MIT and beyond.
Dylan is a current sophomore from southern Virginia who has worked at MITOS for a year as a social media assistant, creating content and editing videos for the Instagram and YouTube accounts of MITOS. He is also working on the UA Sustain Garden and MacGregor Minihives, and he co-produces and broadcasts a WMBR radio show on Tuesdays at 10pm.
Jordyn is a rising sophomore majoring in Civil and Environmental Engineering. She's specifically interested in making cities and their infrastructure more resilient and sustainable. In her first year, she was part of the Terrascope learning community where she learned more about tackling large environmental problems. She has also done previous research on tree canopies over the decades and implementing hydroelectric power into water treatment plants. In her free time she enjoys crocheting and baking.
Rudiba is a rising senior majoring in Computer Science and Biology with a Minor in Business Management. She loves taekwondo, baking, trying to new things and anything outdoorsy. She is passionate about sustainability and excited to be part of the MITOS Summer Cohort.
Wacuka is a sophomore double majoring in Materials Science & Engineering and Business Management. Passionate about storytelling, she is dedicated to shaping the sustainability narrative. She spent the summer researching ways to optimize green data centers with MCSC for sustainable computing. At MITOS, she is analyzing MIT’s scope three emissions related to cloud computing purchases and developing strategies to lower them. Along with sustainability, Wacuka enjoys exploring new places, playing the piano,and crafting ideas into tangible realities with others.
Delphine is a junior majoring in Civil and Environmental Engineering with a minor in Urban Planning. She is interested in creating a decarbonized and climate-resilient built environment. She is a MCSC Climate and Sustainability Scholar collaborating with MITOS on a project to identify and mitigate flood risk for campus infrastructure. During her free time, she enjoys reading, singing with her acapella group, and riding her bicycle around Boston.
Nrithya is a senior at MIT double majoring in Urban Planning and Computer science. She is deeply interested in how we can mindfully use technology to solve climate, sustainability, and environmental justice issues. This past summer, Nrithya interned at a climate-tech startup that aims to create sustainable data centers for high-intensity computational workloads. She is currently involved with improving MITOS's data transformation and management tools in order to provide enhanced sustainability metrics for each department. In her free time, Nrithya plays the saxophone with MIT live and dances with Mocha Moves, Sakata Afrique, and MIT Mirchi.
