A proud member of Cate’s Class of 2005, Dr. Ashwin Atre returns to the Mesa with a deep appreciation for the School’s impact on his life. After earning his BSE in Chemical Engineering at Princeton University, Ashwin pursued a PhD in Materials Science at Stanford, where his research spanned topics from renewable energy to nanoscience innovations like invisibility cloaks.

Following his doctoral work, Ashwin embarked on a remarkable road trip with his wife, Olivia Sparkuhl '06, traveling over 33,000 miles through 18 countries from California to South America. Drawn back to Cate’s vibrant community, Ashwin is thrilled to contribute as an educator.

Ashwin lives in Carpinteria with Olivia and their children, Bodie and Roohi.
