Nation’s Top Electrical Engineering Student Begins Career at Johns Hopkins APL

Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory electrical engineer Sara Kouroupis was recently named the Alton B. Zerby and Carl T. Koerner Outstanding Electrical and Computer Engineering Student for 2015 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ (IEEE) international honor society, Eta Kappa Nu.

Kouroupis, an Ellicott City, Maryland, native, began her career at APL in June 2015. She said one of the primary reasons she chose APL was the Lab’s Discovery Program, a two-year rotational program that allows top college graduates to work three or four short-term assignments that span technical programs across APL.

Kouroupis is also working on her master’s degree in electrical engineering through the Johns Hopkins University Engineering for Professionals Program.
