It's incredible to think, after events of the past year, that we are preparing for a full return to campus in a few short weeks. At GSAS, we’ve been hard at work to make this happen, planning to reopen the GSAS Student Center, welcome a full complement of students in the residence halls, and ensure that our students have the resources they need to progress in their academic work. Yet even amid the excitement of gathering in person once again, I am mindful of the innovations in education, administration, and engagement fostered at GSAS during more than a year in the remote world and how they will shape our paths forward.

No Boundaries to Real-World Impact
Matheus Fernandes's curiosity has no limits. He’s immersed himself in the glacial mechanics of the Greenland ice sheet. He’s found solutions to building stronger bridges and skyscrapers from the skeletons of deep-sea glass sponges. And now he’s using data science to change real estate investing.
The latitude to explore is what brought Fernandes to Harvard. “My graduate program gave me the ability to transition from mechanical engineering and applied physics, to applied mathematics and bioinspired engineering, to AI and machine learning,” he says.
