Joanna is a member of the Hannigan Air Quality measurements group where she enjoys learning about our atmosphere and its interactions with ecosystems and human exploits. Her interests range from the volumes of molecules enclosed by the walls of our homes, to community and regional scale airshed dynamics and composition...

I am a sophomore pursuing mechanical engineering with a minor in biomedical engineering. I love learning outside the classroom and currently am a DLA student studying how disease affects bone structure and composition. In the future, I hope to work projects involving space travel and human habitation on Mars.

I am a sophomore in Mechanical Engineering from Northern California who enjoys being outdoors, especially when skiing or rowing. I love to travel to experience new cultures and appreciate history and architecture. I plan to use my degree to work with prosthetics and artificial limbs/muscles, and to continue research in...
