After another successful presentation session
Meet the team!
Tiffany Kwakwa
Tiffany loves french fries and the colors pink and sea foam green. She is a rising junior studying Environmental Engineering and how to recycle and reuse everything. In her spare time she can be found in bakeries or drinking tea.
Kristi Lui
Kristi has an odd sense of humor and is basically the wild child. When not pipetting, she’s usually watching one of many TV shows (but mainly Dexter) or studying for the MCAT.
Mitch Perkins
Mitch is a potential Anthropology major, but currently focusing on Biology. Constantly greeting team members with a “Yo!” and sharing pictures of his dog, there is no one else as chill, except maybe the -80 fridge.
Sharon Chen
When not studying for the MCAT, Sharon is in the lab or sleeping. Mainly sleeping. A rising senior Art History and Biology major, she loves cherries and expensive oatmeal.
David Lee
David is a rising star who has also risen into our hearts with his wit and charm. The other departments are jealous that he chose Biomedical Engineering. His only vice is his addiction to Game of Thrones, finishing 10 episodes in one night after returning from a day at the lab.
Adam Baker
Adam is a bassist and speed reader, going through multiple books in one sitting as well as the technical papers related to our project. He’s a rising junior Chemical Engineer who we fall back on for knowledge and fact recollection.
Abdullah Memon
Abdullah has been graced with the gift of amazing handwriting that and tasteful quips. He’s a rising junior on a pre-med track to saving lives and making fat stacks
Meet the advisors!
