Maeve Story

Majoring in Ocean Engineering, German, Minoring in Mathematics
University of Rhode Island, Class of 2020
From Southport, CT
I am a 4th year engineering undergraduate in the five year International Engineering Program at the University of Rhode Island majoring in Ocean Engineering and German, and minoring in Mathematics. I am seeking internship and research opportunities that will give me experience with renewable energy, coastal resilience/management or hydrodynamics where I may apply my studies and develop my skills. In August, I will travel to Germany for the year, completing an exchange semester at the Technical University of Braunschweig (TUBS) including research with the Institute for Foundations and Soil Mechanics (IGB-TUBS) followed by an engineering internship in the second half of the year.

COE Shadow Program
Founder of the University of Rhode Island's College of Engineering (COE) Shadow Program. The Shadow Program was a mentor program for high school girls to "shadow" female students in the COE to foster interest and demonstrate support for women in STEM. Coordinated with the COE in establishing the program and ultimately presided over the pilot day of the program which cultivated an interest for STEM fields and college education in 40 inner-city minority high school girls. The program morphed into the URI Women's Engineering Day in April 2018; a welcome day for accepted senior high school girls and interested juniors to meet URI female engineering students and female faculty, attend classes, and get to know URI engineering. The program is sponsored by URI Admission and URI SWE and will be recurring annually.

Ocean Engineering Research Intern for the Marine Geomechanics Laboratory at The University of Rhode Island

I designed the test matrix and criteria, assembled the test apparatus, and executed the testing of a model geo-synthetic
sand container (GSC) structure against wave forces for inclusion in a NSF proposal.

I also operated the URI wave flume and assisted on other marine geotechnical department projects. During the internship, I operated other devices including bender elements, wave gauges, pore pressure transducers, a force load cell, and a mechanical sieve shaker.

May 2018 - Present
Undergraduate Researcher for the Marine Geomechanics Laboratory at The University of Rhode Island

I measured the shear wave velocity profile through Gulf of Mexico clay using less invasive lab methods, including the set up and operation of bender element transducers.

Ocean Engineering Fellow at GreenWave

I interned with GreenWave, a non-profit "ocean farmer and fisherman-run organization dedicated to building a new blue-green economy that creates jobs, mitigates climate change and grows healthy food for local communities." I researched coastal risks and restorative species, identified current human management of coastal areas in the United States and South America, and assessed applications of restorative ocean farms for ecological services such as storm surge mitigation and habitat restoration which I compiled into a short report at the end of my internship.
