Proudest Moment: Receiving a Mary Gates Research Scholarship for my work on the synthesis of an InP/CoP core-shell system
lainat97@uw.eduThe last four years have been a fun ride pursuing my degree in chemical engineering. I got to work in UW's chemistry department for two years working with semiconducting quantum dots for a number of different applications. I also got to be a part of a local startup called Decafino Inc., where we were developing cutting edge technology to decaffeinate coffee post brew. These are just a few highlights I had while here at UW but all my experiences helped me grow as a person, student, and engineer. Come fall of 2019 I will begin the next chapter of my life working for W.L. Gore & Associates helping to develop their line of medical devices.
