CEE senior, Matthew Zahr, was a finalist for this year's University Medal, the annual award bestowed on Berkeley’s top graduating senior since 1871.
Tarek Zohdi, professor and vice chair for instruction of mechanical engineering, described Zahr as “probably the best [undergraduate] that I will ever encounter in my lifetime.” Zohdi wrote, “If he continues to scientifically mature at his current pace, he… will be one of the world’s leaders in computational mechanics.”
