BSc Biochemistry - 2nd Year
Background & Interests: Background & Interests: My goal for the next 4 years are to finish my BSc honors degree in Biochemistry, while maintaining my own business. Joining the iGEM team is truly a highlight of academic career, and it has been an amazing experience to work at the forefront of science.

MSc Electrical and Computer Engineering - 2nd year
Background & Interests: I have a BSc in biological sciences. My career ambition is to become a neurosurgeon. I

was motivated to join iGEM because of its radical approach to research and design. After seeing the presentation put on by the Butanerds in the spring, I became very excited and was eager to be part of something that was both creative and practical. I wanted to take away two things from this experience: general knowledge about synthetic biology, and hands on lab experience.

In relation to my career goals, most surgeons complete a 2 year masters during their residency. Having learned the basics of synthetic biology, and potential treatments and medical application, I know that this is one area of research I would like to pursue in the future.

Background & Interests: BSc Engineering Physics, BSc Biochemistry from University of Saskatchewan, interests include nanobiotechnology(biosensors, nanobiomotors, cell mimetic systems), new developments in spaceflight and the space industry
