var TONY = "One of the opportunities that I look forward to the most in university is being able to conduct research. While high school afforded the opportunity to learn the general principles of biology and chemistry, there was little to no individual exploration. As a result, when Grace from iGEM last year came to present at a SciCon conference I was attending, I became immediately captivated by the learning and exploratory opportunities provided by iGEM and the myriad of projects that are possible. As a greenhorn to the research field, I hope to learn the many basic lab protocols this year and primarily help with human practices. I also hope to gain some experience in mathematical modeling later on. My hobbies include swimming early in the morning, being a foodie (especially Thai food … yum yum), and watching Game of Thrones."; | var TONY = "One of the opportunities that I look forward to the most in university is being able to conduct research.

My research lies at the intersection of environmental engineering and microbiology, where we study the microbial ecology of biological phosphorus removal using metagenomic and functional genomic approaches. In my free time, I enjoy hockey, martial arts, and pretty much anything outdoors."; | ||
