Student Highlights 
Get to know the Stony Brook University students shaping the future of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Ameem Khan ('26, '27)

Ameem’s journey at Stony Brook highlights the impact of mentorship, perseverance, and opportunity.

After beginning with little programming experience, mentorship from Professor Chen—whom he met through the IEEE Professor Mixer—helped him build confidence and strengthen his skills. He went on to participate in the Department of Energy’s SULI program, gaining valuable research experience.

After earning his Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering, Ameem chose to continue at Stony Brook as a master’s student, demonstrating how the university’s supportive academic community prepares students for continued success in engineering and beyond.

Ruoyan Fan ('29)

Ruoyan, a PhD student in Electrical Engineering, was selected for a Top 5 Best Paper Award in the prestigious 2025 CIGRE Next Generation Network (NGN) Paper Competition, recognizing promising young researchers in power engineering worldwide. Her research, supported by fellow PhD students Zimin Jiang, Khezr Sanjani, and Kamini Shahare, earned her the opportunity to represent Stony Brook University at the Grid of the Future Conference in Denver.

This recognition builds on a strong tradition of student achievement, with Stony Brook PhD students earning multiple CIGRE NGN awards in recent years, including a Top 1 Award in 2024. These accomplishments highlight the strength of our students, mentorship, and research in power engineering.
