I am an incoming freshman to the University of Waterloo in Canada who will soon be studying Materials and Nanosciences or Chemical Engineering. My interests are centred around the broader mission to address climate change in a massive, equitable and long-lasting way. In the past, I’ve worked on projects relating to fuel cells, redox flow batteries, and third-generation microalgal biofuels. As a Foundation member, I’m really excited about connecting my passion for climate change with my interests in materials science and engineering and the field of alternative energy, and as I enter the new year, I’m looking forward to joining a lab that works at the intersection of these topics.
