Presentation Transcript

    1. Xiaolei Cong Xiaolei Cong is a rising senior at Downingtown East High School. He enjoys examining scientific issues from a business perspective. During TREES, he tested whether or not biodegradable corn plastic could be used as disposable pipets. His near-future goal is to dual major in chemical engineering and economics. Xiaolei is hoping to save our environment one pipet at a time.

    2. Peter Durlacher Peter Durlacher will be a sophomore at Haverford High School in the fall. He is very interested in preserving the environment so that life can continue to exist on Earth. In the TREES Program, Peter tested whether a dog’s mouth was cleaner than a human’s mouth in an attempt to disprove the urban legend that dogs’ mouths are cleaner.

    3. Hayden Dahmm Hayden Dahmm will be a senior at Springfield High School this upcoming school year. During his time at TREES, Hayden studied the presence of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in a local waterway with the use of a yeast assay.  Hayden performed this experiment as a continuation of a similar project that he did this past school year. Hayden hopes to pursue a career in environmental engineering or environmental policy.

    4. Tommy Pan Fang Tommy Pan Fang will be a senior at St. Stephen's School in Rome, Italy. In his free time, he enjoys talking to Oxfam representatives, eating genuine Italian food, and jaywalking. He has interests in environmental engineering and developing alternative fuels to power the world, and worked on bioremediation of glycerol for his TREES project. However, he believes that his greatest contribution to the environment will be raising the awareness of the community of "green" issues. 

    5. Joy Wang Joy Wang is a rising junior at Council Rock High School South. When not spending time in the lab, Joy can be found practicing and performing her violin, competing on her school's debate and math team, and coaching her middle school MathCounts team. Her project this summer focuses on the filtration of synthetic estrogen mimics using activated charcoal. In the future, Joy hopes to find a career that combines her interest in alternative energy development with her passion for scientifically and environmentally-minded public policy.

    7. Rupali Singhal Hello, my name is Rupali Singhal. I am a rising senior at Springside School in Philadelphia. I decided to apply to the TREES summer program because I plan to pursue biochemical engineering in college. My project in TREES “Detection of Melamine and Cyanuric Acid by the DC Protein Assay” is very much related to biochemistry and allowed me to learn and experience what my work in the future will be like. TREES has really strengthened my resolve to dedicate my career to science.
