About Adrian Alvarez S.

My story is not just about engineering, energy, excellence and achievements. It is about perseverance, resilience, overcoming, about passion and pain, selflessness and leadership, about turning failures into victories, deep darkness into the brightest of lights.+As I realize how much the world could benefit from my knowledge, my skills and abilities, and my character, I am now committed to put my talent at the service of society, to solve specifically those problems that many deem unsolvable, to make long-awaited breakthroughs, to bring engineering to those who need us and to design and create the newest and most innovative industrial and energy systems and technologies that will shape the future of efficiency and sustainability.+My journey started with a challenging academic and personal situation in my early years of school. In those days I would not believe what I was about to become. It all started to change thanks to the light of Faith and the power of Love. so remarkably that I made it into a top Engineering School.+It did not stop there. I graduated above 98% of my class with an Industrial Technologies Bachelor\'s, with broad technical aptitude and knowledge on Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical and Energy Engineering.I was chosen among over one thousand applicants to be awarded the Rafael del Pino Foundation\'s excellence fellowship, providing full funding for a Master\'s at Texas A&M University.+My engineering projects, research and design works have been highly praised, not only by my research advisor at Texas A&M, but also by countless professors and supervisors, graduating with a 4.0 and a thesis \"exceeding the expectations\".And I am still learning, which is fun for me.+But it is not just excellence, it is character. I have become a leader, a self-starter, reliable, creative, communicative. In words of my good friend Uche I \"light up the room with my presence\".Indeed, what most people say that characterizes me is the enthusiasm and commitment I put in my work. I am the one that is always encouraging, never giving up, always making something good out of challenging issues, and my colleagues and supervisors know it. I enjoy being challenged, I love to solve problems, to make ideas come true. And I love doing it to help people arround me, to help those I love, to help society.+Having held leadership roles in various volunteering organizations, I can confidently say that I thrive when it comes to serving society, serving people around me and using my skills and talents to do so. The world needs this, and I am coming.
