Hi, I am a senior bioengineering student. I currently conduct research in antibody engineering at the University of Maryland, and aspire to get a Ph.D. in bioinstrumentation so I can ultimately create affordable diagnostic devices. I enjoy hiking, music, and drawing. Feel free to contact me!
Secretary | Brianna Kovacs
tbp.secretary@eng.umd.edu
Hi everyone! I'm a senior structural engineering major with a minor in sustainability. After graduation, I hope to be a bridge inspector because it's like an adventure every day! I love being active and being outside, so it's a perfect fit, and maybe I'll move to an amazing place like New Zealand and work on their bridges! Dreaming big :) P.S. Hopefully you noticed the bent in the background of my picture!
