Three Georgia Tech engineering students have been named Brooke Owens Fellows this year, recognition of their talent, experiences, and commitment to service as well as their potential to become leaders in the aerospace industry.
The 2024 class of fellows comprises 47 students, including Nina Otebele and Ellen Wang in the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering (AE) and Emily Winters in the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering (ME). The Brooke Owens Fellowship Program selected just one in 10 applicants for this year’s group.
As fellows, the three Tech students will intern this summer for leading aerospace engineering companies and be matched with an executive-level mentor to support and guide them as they launch their careers.
This year’s “Brookies”:
Nina Otebele
Otebele will work at Amazon Prime Air this summer on the hardware development team. She’ll focus specifically on designs for the company’s new drone. The AE major has been involved in research in the High-Power Electric Propulsion Laboratory and served as a student ambassador for the Guggenheim School.
Ellen Wang
Wang’s summer will focus on the reusable liquid-propellant rocket engine designed by Rocket Lab, where she’ll intern with the neutron propulsion team. The third-year AE student has participated in research in the Space Systems Design Lab, where she has worked on several CubeSat projects.
Emily Winters
Winters meshes ME studies and a minor in industrial design with the goal of combining the disciplines in service of the aerospace industry. She will spend her summer as a structural engineering intern at space company Blue Origin. Winters leads the driver controls team for GT Motorsports and is an active member of Outdoor Recreation at Georgia Tech.
