Aerospace engineering student Adam Boro has been named among the 2019 “Tomorrow’s Technology Leaders: The 20 Twenties” by the Aviation Week Network in collaboration with the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). The awards program recognizes top students in engineering, math, science, and technology from across the country and globe on the basis of their academic performance, civic contribution, and research or design project.

He is an active member of UMD’s student chapter of AIAA, serves as fundraising chair of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity, and is active with the Terrapin Trail Club. Boro has served in leadership positions for UMD’s Gamera (human-powered helicopter) project, completed an Alexander R. Norris Space View Internship with AIAA, and interned under the Jacobs Test Operations and Support Contract at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
