PhD Building Engineering students Brodie Hobson and Dre Markus win Prestigious ASHRAE Grant-In-Aid Award
Within three feet of each other in a roughly 100 square foot office, Brodie Hobson and Dre Markus not only share an office space, but for people with such different upbringings, they share a lot of similarities. Both starting their post-secondary education at Carleton University in the Architectural Conservation and Sustainability (ACSE) program at different times, Brodie and Dre went on to complete their master’s degree in Building Engineering soon after and eventually, embarked on their PhD under the supervision of Professor Burak Gunay (Dre is co-supervised with Professor Jayson Bursill). One could call them devoted Ravens. Brodie and Dre are previous recipients of the Senate medal for outstanding academic excellence for their masters’ thesis, winners of the Ontario Graduate Scholarship, and NSERC scholarship winners.
Recently, Brodie and Dre received the prestigious 2023 ASHRAE Grant-In Aid Award in an amount of up to US$10,000 each for the 2023-2024 academic year.
