graduating, Bryan joined the nuclear Navy, serving as a submarine officer onboard the U.S.S Louisville and at the Naval Prototype Training Unit from 2009-2017. Significant milestones include earning the Master Training Specialist Certification (the military’s highest instructor accreditation), Nuclear Professional Engineer Certification, two Naval Achievement Medals, the Military Outstanding Volunteer Service Medal, and a Naval Commendation Medal for his work troubleshooting and repairing the Moored Training Ship 635’s reactor and electrical distribution faults. Following his transition from active duty, Bryan earned his PhD as a member of both the Computation and Advancement of Sustainable Systems Lab, where he developed

The research team asks theinstructors of the targeted engineering courses who they would recommend as potential peerleaders. The recruitment of the peer leaders is repeated approximately six to eight weeks prior tothe start of the term to allow for hiring, onboarding, and completing the peer leader trainingcourse.During Year 1 (AY22-23), eight peer leaders were trained.
