Difference between revisions of "Team:William and Mary/team"

Kalen is a junior studying biology and applied mathematics. The interdisciplinary nature of our project appeals to her desire to blend her interests. Kalen believes the intersection of disciplines is a great source for innovation. She became interested in science and research at a young age. One of her childhood memories is of constructing a zoo for her dolls to attend, even doing the research to write placards for each animal exhibit. Her continued interest in constructing and designing things has driven her to pursue a career in bioengineering. Eventually she sees herself researching evolutionarily optimized biological structures so that their design can be replicated when engineering biological and non-biological structures. Outside of the lab, Kalen spends her time tutoring elementary students, watching movies, and playing volleyball.
