My name is Erik Huber and I am from Fulton, NY. I am completing my 4th year of study in Mechanical Engineering here at Cornell University. I am a little bit older than the majority of my colleagues because I earned a Master's Master’s degree elsewhere prior to arriving at Cornell. After attending Alfred State College (Engineering Science '06’06) and the University at Buffalo (Mechanical Engineering '08’08), I went to Columbia University in August 2008 to pursue my Ph.D. However, after two years of funding struggles I was forced to leave the program but had passed enough classes to earn a M.S. in Mechanical Engineering.

In my free time I like to jog, watch sports and I am an avid soccer player.
