Emily Kim
My name is Emily Kim, I am a current student-athlete and rising sophomore studying Material Science Engineering with a great interest in sustainability. On campus, I love to go on walks, bike, and enjoy time with my friends. I also love going to the city to shop or get snacks in Chinatown. I love food and often go off-campus to get hotpot, ice-cream and korean food. I love gaming and I am on the esports club board where I found my new found hobby: (completely unrelated to gaming) hiking. I am starting research here at UPenn and started working at the library this year.
Amejha Williams
I am a rising senior pursuing a Bachelors as well as an Accelerated Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering with a focus in Analog Integrated Circuits. My ultimate career aim is to become a NASA astronaut: I’m shooting for the stars and aiming for the first crewed mission to Mars! I endeavor to utilize my technical aptitudes to engineer technologies that aid scientific discovery. My earth space science interest informs my passion for space instrumentation, renewable power systems, and sustainable nanotechnologies. As a NASA-partner Eclipse Ambassador, the importance of science communication, stewardship, and community are the heart of my pursuit of public service. Whether it may be on a marine research vessel at sea or at McMurdo Research Station in Antarctica, I see myself, in the field and at the bench, serving science and engineering for the benefit of all humanity. Before college, I attended online homeschool my entire life. I enjoy hiking, jump rope, and dance.
Marissa Tietelbaum
Hi everyone! My name is Marissa and I am a rising senior from New Jersey majoring in mechanical engineering (MEAM) with an intended minor in Engineering Entrepreneurship and Math. On campus I am involved in Penn Electric Racing as a member of the mechanical subteam, specifically working on our battery pack subsystem. I have TA’d classes and work in the machine shop on campus too. Before coming to Penn, I went to High Technology High School (a public engineering magnet school) and I participated in the Pennacle pre-orientation program. As a freshman, I lived in Ware College House in the Quad on the Research, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program Community hall and really enjoyed it. This summer I am doing research in ModLab on campus in preparation for planning on getting my PhD. Outside of school I enjoy baking, gardening, crafts, and volunteering as well as all things Disney and Marvel. I am looking forward to meeting all of you and feel free to reach out!
Sristhi Chowdhury
Hi everyone! My name is Sristhi (like Christie with a Sh- at the beginning), and I’m a sophomore from Connecticut in bioengineering on the pre-med track. On campus, I’m involved in ovarian cancer research (with the hopes of going into gynecology one day!), math tutoring at a local middle school (I’ll be co-president of MathMates in the fall!), and educational outreach within the Society of Women Engineers. In my free time, I love to read, yap with my friends, and watch trashy reality shows on Netflix. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I’m looking forward to meeting you all 🙂
Shivi Jain
Hi everyone! My name is Shivi and I am a junior studying Computer Science with minors in Data Science and Engineering Entrepreneurship. Outside of classes, I am also involved in Engineering Consultants at Penn, Penn Engineering Council, Society of Women Engineers, Research in the GRASP lab, and the Kite and Key Society. Outside of school, you can find me playing tennis, impromptu concert trips, and trying new brunch places in Philly!
