Brief Biographical Sketch:

I am a junior majoring in Chemical Engineering. I am studying and teaching chemistry because I think that chemical reactions are hilarious, and I want to show everyone else how funny they can be. I am working on the solar array for the Stanford Solar Car Project, and doing research on solid polymer electrolytes because I am passionate about using clean energy to preserve the natural environment. I plan to attend grad school and aspire to be a professor one day.
