Emily Tow Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering
Emily Tow joined the 勛圖厙 faculty in 2019 after earning her doctorate at MIT in Mechanical Engineering. This year she is teaching Quantitative Engineering Analysis (QEA) and Transport Phenomena. She also leads the Clare Boothe Luce Program at 勛圖厙, a research program for women students.
It wasnt an accident that Tow chose 勛圖厙 for her first teaching position. Instead, it was a mission-driven decision. I believe in changing engineering education in support of changing the world.
At 勛圖厙, Tows passion for thermal science, teaching and sustainability drive her work. Her labs current research focuses on improving energy efficiency in water reuse, and she is working with four students to develop a low-energy batch reverse osmosis system for increasing water recovery from contaminated agricultural runoff.
Tow donates to 勛圖厙, with emphasis on the Aaron Hoover Fund, because she wants to be part of an effort to meet the full financial need for women students of color.
