Wilfrido Castillo
I am a Junior Mechanical Engineer at The Cooper Union. I thoroughly enjoy designing components for the FSAE Cooper Union Team. Occasionally, I will book spontaneous flights to Colombia to visit family.

Hua Joe Fung
I am a Junior Chemical Engineer at The Cooper Union minoring in Biomedical Engineering. You can find me walking around the lab, asking everyone what they're up to and making sure everything is moving along smoothly. I enjoy rowing quite a great deal (I am an officer in Cooper's Rowing Club), and try and go visit my "family" in France any chance I get. I am the best in lab - don't let Shoshana or Alexa tell you otherwise.

Lily Lin
I am a Sophomore Chemical Engineer at The Cooper Union. Aside from being my group's math adviser, I also flex my linguistic muscles by helping Dionne learn Spanish.

Jiwoon Park
I am a Sophomore Chemical Engineer at The Cooper Union - I also have already fulfilled my requirements for the Biomedical Engineering minor. Don't let my young looks deceive you, I am super motivate and competent. I established the Bioengineering Students Association at Cooper Union in my spare time. I also have impeccable style and a savvy hostess for all my out-of-town friends.

Jae Ho Jang
I am a Senior Chemical Engineer, formally Civil Engineer, at The Cooper Union. People like to say my full name really rapidly, for what reason, I don't know. I enjoy long walks with spiders, living in subtropical apartments, and getting my sinuses fixed. When I cough, it resonates throughout all 9 floors of the school building. I do not limit myself to traditional waking/resting schedule, instead, I sleep when I need to and wake when ready.

Devora Najjar
I am a Junion Chemical Engineer at The Cooper Union, minoring in Biomedical Engineering. I have the honour and distinct privilege of being the very first student trustee of this institution. I am also thrilled that there is a kosher Dunkin' Donuts two buildings away. If you need a pick-me-up, I'm your person. As the first member of the Cooper Union iGEM team, I hold the final authoritarian say on who gets to perform which biological dance.

Alexa Orrico
I am a Junior Chemical Engineering at The Cooper Union minoring in Biomedical Engineering. Every evening before I go home I clean and organize the lab, but somehow every morning when I come back it has reverted back into a state of chaos. I do copious amounts of reading while I am waiting for my experiments to complete. I miss playing on the volleyball team at Cooper, but am excited to get a chance to lead the team as the coach! I am the best in lab - don't let Joe or Shoshana tell you otherwise.

Rebecca Poch
I am a Sophomore Chemical Engineer at The Cooper Union. When I heard they were going to film scenes from "Elementary" at Cooper, I was definitely a little more than excited.

Shoshana Sigal
I am a Chemical Engineering Junior at The Cooper Union perusing a minor in Biomedical Engineering. I can project with great intensity. I am very possessive of my lab tech. I work with great speed and efficiency (except with PCR's). I am the best in lab - don't let Alexa or Joe tell you otherwise.

Nolana Wong
I am a Junior Civil Engineer (the group's ONLY CivE), at The Cooper Union. I am the queen of the Yeast project, and all questions relating to it defer to me. At times, I get involved in extreme sports such as archery tag (look it up) and have plenty of bruises to show for it. I have a fabulous collection of clever t-shirts. I love the clam onigiri, and try and get them before they sell out at Cafe Zaya.

Sara Wong
I am a Sophomore Chemical Engineer at The Cooper Union. While it may seem like I have good intentions, I am secretly diabolical...or is it the other way around?

Karlin Yeh
I am Freshman Mechanical Engineer at The Cooper Union. The team basically begged me to join. I take care of all of the machines involved in the lab. I also build cool things like centrifuges and macro-fluidics platforms. In my spare time I work on tricking-out chicken coops with high-tech swag and wakeboard. I am a man of few words, but very intricate Autocad models. Even though I am a mere freshman, I am way more qualified than most of the upperclassmen.

Dionne Lutz
I am the reigning lab tech of the Kanbar Center. All of your equipment needs can be taken care of by me. I do ALL of the ordering, I make ALL of the competent cells, I clean ALL of the spin column tubes and still find time to drink ALL the coffee!! Basically, I take care of ALL THE THINGS.

Oliver Medvedik, PhD
I am the mastermind behind iGEM at Cooper Union. I do everything at once. I prefer to spend at much time in the lab as humanly possible, and encourage my students to join me. There are times when I will set up an experiment that will be done at 2 AM, and that is completely acceptable to me. The students have lovingly re-named my cat Misha to Oligo. I am very interested in all things Bio, but the aging process in particular. I am the co-founder of GenSpace, which is the first community biohacking lab and is based in Brooklyn.
