President

Audrey DeKoninck

I am a Junior in Mechanical Engineering from Metro Detroit, Michigan. I am involved in the SmartHab research project through the Resilient ExtraTerrestrial Habitat (RETH) Institute. I plan to attend graduate school for either an MSME or MBA. My favorite part about ASME is being able to provide opportunities for professional and technical growth for all our members.

Internal Vice President

Akash Darbha

I'm a Junior in Electrical Engineering from Dublin, CA. Outside of ASME, I am also involved in the Purdue Solar Racing Team. I am passionate about using engineering to help people, specifically with sustainable technology. My favorite part of ASME is the wonderful community we have and I look forward to expanding on that community through the facilitation of our design teams.

External Vice President

Lexi Wall

I am a Senior in Mechanical Engineering from Northern New Jersey. I am also pursuing minors in Business Economics and Manufacturing. I plan to go into industry after graduation and go back to school for an MBA in the future. My favorite part about ASME is being able to connect our members with amazing companies and provide opportunities for professional growth.

Marketing Vice President

Charlotte Moss

I am a junior in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in electrical engineering. I have previously worked in undergraduate research under Professor Jeffrey Rhoads and will be transitioning to research on 3D printing under Professor Song Zhang. In ASME, I have been able to be a part of multiple design teams and last semester was able to create our new website. I am excited to continue to work with ASME in the upcoming year!
