<h3>Gabi Berner</h3>
+
</header>
+
<p>Hailing from the sandy beaches of South Florida, particularly Coral Springs where there are no coral or springs, Gabi is a rising sophomore in Eliot House studying applied mathematics on a pre-med track. When she is not running gels and bothering “Mama Bom” with all her questions, she can be found going on runs, café crawling through Cambridge, and exploring all that Boston has to offer. Aside from learning synthetic biology and lab techniques, she hopes to conquer her fear of the autoclave before the end of the summer.</p>

<p>He, him, his pronouns. Originally from Albania, “Kevinella” is a rising junior in Fish House, concentrating in Bioengineering with a secondary field in Energy and Environment.  Beyond his technical studies, his other interests lie in Albanian soccer, environmental policy issues, particularly surrounding the use of biomaterials for renewable energy. Fluent in Albanian, English, and Italian, as well as a current learner of German and French, Kevin hopes to use his linguistic abilities to explore new cultures during his travels across Europe. In his free time, Kevin enjoys swimming, playing table tennis on Wii, bleaching his clothes in lab, and just started watching “Game of Thrones.” Swipe right. His girlfriend’s name is IRS, and his favourite food is from Grasshopper. Secretly loves Dani. Will only eat meat!!!! “Why do I have a poop emoji?” – Kevinella “Salmonella”</p>

Harvard BioDesign 2016

Plastiback

A synthetic biology based plastic sensing feedback device.

Degrade plastic more simply, efficiently, sustainably. Anywhere.

Generate electricity from degradation to map out plastic in the ocean.

Plastiback is a plastic-sensing system that gives feedback on where PET, a type of plastic, is located in the ocean.
PET is a durable plastic, with multiple uses, including making the bottles for many of the drinks we enjoy. While PET pollutes both the land and sea, the majority of PET litter ends up in the ocean. When plastic enters the ocean, it becomes difficult to clean up and even more difficult to track. For researchers who are investigating the scope and map of where PET is, Plastiback presents a novel and sustainable way to locate ocean PET, while also using non-toxic methods to degrade PET!
