Meet the First Graduates of Tulane’s River-Coastal Science and Engineering PhD and On-Campus Master’s Programs
Laura Manuel '24, Emma House '25, and Sherif Ahmed '24 are applying Tulane’s river and coastal expertise to challenges ranging from Mississippi River forecasting and Louisiana land loss to environmental management and global water systems.
The challenges facing rivers, coastlines, wetlands, and water systems are becoming more urgent around the world.
From the Diamond to Discovery
Marc Théberge originally came to Tulane University to play baseball. A shoulder injury in his first year changed that. What followed was a path that took him from the School of Science and Engineering to the National Institutes of Health, and eventually to a doctoral program that spans two continents.
From New Orleans to the Arctic: How Tulane Alum Kobi Jones is Powering the Future of Cold-Weather Technology
Kobi Jones graduated from Tulane University's School of Science and Engineering in 2020 with a degree in chemical engineering. Four years later, he is a manufacturing engineer at South 8 Technologies, a San Diego-based startup developing battery electrolyte technology designed for extreme cold-weather applications. His customers include the United States Army, defense contractors, and research partners working on the next generation of soldier power and unmanned aerial systems.
From New Hampshire to the Mississippi Delta, Water Professionals Graduate from Tulane’s River-Coastal Masters Program
Across the United States, engineers and scientists are working every day to understand and manage the rivers that shape communities, economies, and ecosystems.
A harbor dredging expert in New Hampshire. An infrastructure engineer in Arkansas. A hydrologist studying the Mississippi River in New Orleans. A river stabilization leader designing bank protection along one of the largest river systems in the world.
Each of them works in a different place, tackling different water challenges. Yet they all share one classroom at Tulane University.
"We Can Do Hard Things": How Tulane Helped Shape Mari Domingo's Mission to Advance Women's Health
When Mari Domingo enrolled at Tulane University's School of Science and Engineering in 2020, she already knew exactly what she was there to do. Fresh from an undergraduate research experience at Oregon State University that had opened her eyes to how little medicine understood about female reproductive health, she made herself a promise before even submitting her applications.
"I'm not going to grad school if I'm not going to study women's health," she said.
2026 SSE Awards Highlight the People Driving Impact Across Science and Engineering
On a wonderful evening inside the Glazer Family Club at Yulman Stadium, more than 170 members of the Tulane SSE community gathered to recognize the people shaping the future of science and engineering.
Faculty, staff, alumni, students, and partners filled the room for the 2026 School of Science and Engineering Awards Celebration, an annual event that reflects both the breadth of the school and the impact of its work. Throughout the evening, 21 awardees were recognized for achievements spanning research, teaching, mentorship, innovation, and community engagement.
EENS Alumni Spotlight: Anabel Kadri (BS 2025)
Where has your degree taken you?
Since graduating from Tulane, I worked as a Field Technician with Mass Audubon where I supported a large-scale salt marsh restoration project across 1,450 acres of the Great Marsh. My work primarily focused on ditch remediation to restore the marsh’s natural hydrology and improve habitat for the Saltmarsh Sparrow. Since finishing that position, I am now a Program Assistant for the Restoration Team at the Chesapeake Bay Trust, where I assist with grant management for restoration projects across the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
From Student to Recruiting: The Full-Circle Journey of Justin Baris (SSE ’17 and ’18)
For many students, something like the new SSE Career Fair is a high-stakes arena where they hope to land their first professional role. But for Justin Baris, a Tulane University biomedical engineering alumnus, returning to the Uptown campus offered a different perspective: the view from behind the recruiting table.
Now representing Boston Scientific, Baris returned to his alma mater to scout talent and serve as a bridge between the classroom and the medical technology industry.
Back on Campus! Recent Grad Camille Neumann (SSE ’25) Is on the Other Side of the Recruitment Table
Walking into a career fair can be a whirlwind of nerves and resumes, but for Camille Neumann, a Tulane University alumna, the experience has come full circle. After graduating with her bachelor’s degree in 2025, majoring in Engineering Physics, Neumann returned to the Uptown campus this year in a new role: a recruiter for MSB Consulting.
"It was definitely a bit of a surreal experience," Neumann says of her return. "It felt like just yesterday I was on the other side of the table, but it was really rewarding to be back and helping students navigate that same path".
