Hi, I am a fourth year biomedical engineering major with an emphasis in systems and synthetic biology. When I'm not going back and forth between labs, I enjoy competitive sailing, freediving, and underwater photography. If I had free time, you'd find me doing any of those three. My main background is in instrumentation and chemistry, but my academic focus is on synthetic biology, biophysics, and molecular biology. I plan to apply to graduate school this fall, where I would like to continue to study synthetic biology.

Hi! My name is Simon Staley. I am currently a third year biosystems engineer at UC Davis. I am interested in pursuing agricultural and food processing engineering when I graduate from Davis next year. This interest has primarily risen from my family's agricultural background as well as South African roots. When I'm not in lab, I enjoy learning obscure historical and geographical facts and swimming laps at the pool.
