Taylor Petell
I am a first year chemical engineering student originally from North Conway, New Hampshire. Shadowing in Young Lab has been a great experience for me because I am learning hands on material that connects to what I am learning in the classroom.

Shravani Balaji
I am a  junior majoring in biochemistry, minoring in chemical engineering. I was an intern for two years working at MilliporeSigma on aspects of their filter technology, and I hope to advance in this field.
