Brief Biographical Sketch:

I think it's really cool when I can actually use something I learned in school in my real life. Like how after learning about toughness in materials science I could evaluate the varying toughness of gummy bears, Twizzlers, and gum. Or how after learning geometry I can use string, a protractor and the parallel line theorem to discover whether stage legs are parallel. I want to teach you guys something that you can use in non-academic settings. In my free time, I love watching Golden Girls reruns and drinking bubble tea with friends.

E821: Introduction to Chemical Engineering: From Finding Alternative Fuels to Making Cosmetics in Splash Spring 2023 (Apr. 29, 2023)
Do you ever wish you could derive a quick equation to find out how long you have to wait for your piping hot brownies to cool down enough not to burn your tongue? Chemical engineering could let you do that! Chemical engineers use chemistry, physics, and math along with engineering tools to solve problems relating to the production and use of anything chemical-related. This includes problems like refining gasoline, purifying drinking water, treating waste, processing food, and making medicines. In this class, you will get an introduction to the field of chemical engineering with fun connections to everyday things like sports gear, cooking, and more!
