Alex Moseson (MEM/MSE, Advisor: Dr. Michel Barsoum) was one of four Drexel engineering graduate students to be awarded a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. The NSFGRF is one of the most prestigious and competitive graduate fellowships in the country.
Alex is working toward his doctorate in MEM with research in MSE under the direction of Professor Dr. Michel Barsoum (MSE). Alexander was inspired by the technology used by the ancient Egyptians to cast parts of the pyramids in place, which led him to work towards developing alternative concrete. The concrete will be affordable, easy to make, and produces little CO2, which will benefit developing communities. As an undergraduate, Alex was a member of 8 To The Bar, Drexel’s all male Acapella group, and Campus Crusade For Christ. Alex is a founding member and former president of the Drexel chapter for Engineers Without Borders (EWB).
