Charley Rees (Junior, mechanical Engineering)

If you need any proof that irony is a fickle mistress, I am a local Evanston townie who grew up making fun of nerdy NU students. As a Wildcat, I spend my days as a mechanical engineering student who loves math and building things. Some of my many eclectic interests include product design, hydroponics, manufacturing, renewable energy, and why people are interested in the Kardashians. When I’m not doing STEM related activities, you can find me at the beach, a Will Ferrel Movie, or doing a cheesy 90’s workout video.

Katerina (Senior, Biomedical Engineering)

I am a fourth-year Biomedical Engineering student hoping to pursue medical school following graduation. Having grown up in Athens, Greece scientific terminology does not intimidate me, although I still struggle to pronounce the most obscure names of bacteria. I am currently involved in imaging research for cancer diagnostics, but recently became fascinated by the field of synthetic biology and by how we can engineer bacteria to do the unimaginable. When not in lab, I’m probably reading mystery novels, solving Rubik’s cube puzzles or trying to improve my tennis serve. ">
