Hello there! I'm a senior electrical engineering major and I'm currently pursuing a minor in business analytics. In addition to Tau Beta Pi, I'm on an Indian Classical dance team called UMD Moksha. In my free time, I like dancing, singing, being a podcast nerd, trying to become a WWII enthusiast, or wasting my life watching the Bachelorette and Degrassi. I'm also insanely addicted to peanut butter. Feel free to contact me for any reason!

Secretary | Justin Sylvers
tbp.secretary@eng.umd.edu
Hello. I am a junior bioengineering major. This year I am the secretary (not to be confused with the American Thoroughbred racehorse who, in 1973, became the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years) of our lovely organization. I like playing things and watching things. I am sometimes moved to engage in physical activity.

I'm Eli Fastow, your alumni chair. I'm a junior material science and engineering major with a nanotechnology minor. I currently work in the Radiation and Polymer Science Lab group as well as TerrapinWorks, and love both research and engineering. In my free time-when I'm not with my TBPeople-I like to ski, run, and make art. I'm in the lounge almost every day, so make sure to say hi!

Social Chair | Mark Snyder
tbp.social@end.umd.edu
Howdy! I'm a senior electrical engineering major and have been a UTF for ENEE205 and ENEE200. I've also done some research on electromagnetic deep brain stimulation. In my free time, I'm a huge fan of trivia (catch me at Looney's!), enjoy cooking way too much food, and of course love to play video and board games. Hit me up with events you'd like to have!

Athletics Chair | Sam Snyder
tbp.athletics@eng.umd.edu
Hi everyone! My name’s Sam, and I am a senior mechanical engineering major. When I am not distracting people from studying in the Tau Beta Pi lounge, you can find me running or occasionally biking and swimming. In my free time, I love cooking, eating ice cream, and drawing portraits. After I graduate, I hope to continue my studies and eventually work and live abroad in Europe.

Athletics Chair | Sam Audia
tbp.athletics@eng.umd.edu
Hi! I am a junior mechanical engineering and computer science double major. I am still deciding what I would like to do when I graduate. So, in the meantime, I like to exercise and play sports that I am no where near coordinated enough to play. I also enjoy eating any and all foods, especially the free food that sometimes shows up in the lounge.

In my free time I enjoy binge watching Netflix, cooking (and eating), and hanging out with friends. If you have any issues with the website, please let me know!

Image Master | Hannah Horng
tbp.webmaster@eng.umd.edu
Hello! I’m a senior Bioengineering/Statistics double major with research interests in biomedical imaging and image processing methods and an intention to go to graduate school. In my spare time I’ll be folding origami, watching anime and Netflix, or drinking way too much bubble tea. You’ll most likely find me passed out on the lounge couches because my sleep schedule doesn’t exist.

Lounge Chair | Josh Cocker
tbp.lounge@eng.umd.edu
I'm a Mechanical Engineering Senior involved as the Vice President of Engineers Without Borders-UMD and a UTF for ENES 100.
