Senior Receives High Honor
Electrical and Computer Engineering senior Fernando Quivira is a recipient of the Harold Hodgkinson Award in recognition of scholastic achievement, leadership, coop, and service in voluntary organizations and activities. This is one of the highest honors that a senior at Northeastern can receive.
Fernando discovered his passion for research as a freshman volunteering in campus laboratories. These experiences led to research co-ops on two federally funded projects at Northeastern, a research-based study abroad in Barcelona, and a co-op with a breast-cancer detection study at Massachusetts General Hospital. Fernando, an international student from Ecuador, has contributed to numerous published scholarly papers, including seven as first author. He was named a Gordon Scholar and received Northeastern’s 2012 President’s Award as one of the top 10 students of his class, and is a member of Eta Kappa Nu, the Electrical and Computer Engineering Honor Society. Fernando plans to pursue engineering graduate work focused on advancing the healthcare industry.
