UCF\u2019s Perla Latorre-Suarez \u201921<\/strong> is among the most promising graduate students in the world who are likely to change the aerospace industry<\/a>, according to Aviation Week Network<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The magazine and its partners \u2014 Accenture and Hexcel \u2014 this month announced their 20 Twenties Award Class of 2022. More than 80 students were nominated from around the world. The 20 winners were selected based on their academic excellence, STEM and leadership skills and innovative approach to problem solving.<\/p>\n

The winners will get access to a network of technology hiring managers, some of the nation\u2019s best faculty and industry experts who will help them begin to build a network of not only potential employers, but some of the greatest minds working to solve critical problems facing the aviation and space industries.<\/p>\n

Latorre-Suarez \u2014 who is pursuing a master\u2019s in aerospace engineering at UCF<\/a> \u2014 is one of only two Florida recipients who share the honor with students from Duke, MIT and Purdue, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first award I have won as a student,\u201d says Latorre-Suarez, who earned a bachelor\u2019s in mechanical engineering from UCF<\/a>. \u201cIt will give me the opportunity to expand my academic and professional connections by networking with other professionals around the country. I will also be able to learn about the opportunities available in multiple industries and universities. I believe this will bring more ideas to solve the current technology challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Latorre-Suarez is part of Engineering Professor Seetha Raghavan\u2019s research lab, where she is investigating 3D printed sensors that could be made in space and which would monitor the structural integrity of the components and vehicles used by explorers on other planets.<\/p>\n

She is also part 色花堂\u2019s MSTAR program, which led to an internship opportunity to work at NASA\u2019s Langley Research Center in Virginia this past summer. Working with NASA scientists she helped design ceramic coatings that can protect lunar vehicles from the moon\u2019s dust.<\/p>\n

The Puerto Rico native says UCF<\/a> and its faculty have been critical to her academic journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy advisor, Dr. Raghavan, has played an important role in my academic, professional and personal life,\u201d she says. \u201cShe nominated me as a recipient of this award, and for me, it was more than that; it has been an honor to be mentored by her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Latorre-Suarez is researching the 3D printed sensors that could be made in space and which would monitor the structural integrity of the components and vehicles used by explorers on other planets.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy biggest goal is to be able to collaborate on space missions, such as the Artemis moon mission,\u201d she says. \u201cI want to ensure astronauts\u2019 safety while exploring other planetary surfaces.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is not Latorre-Suarez\u2019s first recognition. In 2021 she was named an X-Force Fellow by the National Security Innovation Network and the Department of Defense. She is also a NASA Florida Space Grant Consortium Fellow<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Congratulations to the winners \u2014 all of whom possess the leadership and STEM skills needed to bring innovation to our industry,\u201d said John Schmidt, global Aerospace and Defense industry lead at Accenture in a news release. \u201cAccenture is committed to developing the next generation of the aerospace and defense workforce by supporting programs like this that help recognize top talent.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to getting plugged into the talent network, Latorre-Suarez will also be honored at a luncheon at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C., and then again during Aviation Week Network\u2019s 65th Annual Laureate Awards and Dinner at the National Building Museum. These presentations are scheduled for November.\u00a0The 20 Twenties program is a significant part of Aviation Week Network\u2019s workforce initiative that continues to cultivate, inform, and inspire the next generation of aerospace and defense professionals, according to the organization.<\/p>\n

Latorre-Suarez is one of many recent graduates from Raghavan\u2019s laboratory who have received national or international recognition for their work.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerla has emerged as a leader and an expert in her area,\u201d Raghavan says. \u201cWhile research is challenging for any student and more so under current circumstances, (such as the pandemic), her persistence has always helped her to manage her time and academics to continue to make research progress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Latorre-Suarez is also paying it forward. She has led multiple outreach activities at UCF representing Raghavan\u2019s lab. She\u2019s led components for Camp Connect and UCF\u2019s STEM Day. Both events provide students from K-12 hands-on learning opportunities focused on different research topics conducted by the group. Latorre-Suarez also participated in Skype-a-Scientist program, where she shared her research expertise with elementary school students in Malaysia.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has demonstrated outstanding leadership and project management skills, as well as the constant aspiration to learn and become better at what she does,\u201d Raghavan says. \u201cAs a mentor, she is setting up a path for many other students to succeed along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
