| Christopher Ghadban Christopher Ghadban is a senior at Tufts University majoring in Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology. Since his freshman year, he has held leadership roles in various organizations; these include the position of Education Committee Chair and Class of 2014 Representative to the Tufts Community Union (TCU) Senate and student representative to the School of Engineering Curriculum Committee. More recently, Mr. Ghadban has led electrochemical research at Reactive Innovations and is the Undergraduate Representative Manager for Project Lever, which helps connect students to research advisors, tools, and opportunities. As a founding director of the Tufts iGEM Team, he believes the organization is a chance to expand one’s knowledge and provide experience in more self-directed research than is otherwise available to undergraduate students. |

| Jesse Starger Jesse Starger is a sophomore at Tufts University majoring in Chemical and Biological Engineering. Jesse has research experience in the polymer field as he continues to work in the Yi lab with overarching interests in sustainable and environmental engineering. Outside of class, Jesse is a member of the Tufts University Men’s Rugby Football Club in addition to being the Eco-Rep for his dorm. While with the Tufts iGEM Team, Jesse hopes to increase his exposure to other academic fields through more independent forms of study than what a traditional undergraduate education may typically allow. |

| Petar V Todorov Petar Todorov is a senior majoring in chemistry with an established tradition in research. During the last five years he has worked on projects spanning biophysics, molecular biology, and biomedical engineering. He currently works on elucidating restriction enzyme mechanisms in the Walt group at Tufts. Mr. Todorov established Tufts iGEM in early 2013. Since then he has worked to help the group secure funding, laboratory space, and faculty support in addition to guiding literature searches and drafting proposals outlining potential routes of research. Beyond the bench, he is interested in the intersection science, technology, society, and ethics. Mr. Todorov was one of the students involved in organizing the Institute of Global Leadership’s 2013 professional workshop focused on Privacy and Progress in Whole Genome Sequencing. Outside the lab Petar enjoys travel, photography, and reading in Bulgarian, English, and Latin. |
