Andrew Kopek
| What is your name? |
Andrew Kopek |
| What school are you currently attending? |
Ohio State University |
| What year will you be starting in the fall? |
Based on my credit hours, I will be a senior. However, because I changed my major from chemistry to chemical engineering, I have three more years of school before graduation. |
| Why did you choose to attend the SENSORS program? |
. I chose to attend the SENSORS program for several reasons--to learn about scientific research (how it is conducted, how to write a research proposal, etc.), to earn money, and to meet new people and establish new friendships.
|
| Who are you working with, and what research are you doing? |
My faculty advisors are Drs. Wei Shih and Wan Shih. The graduate student I am working with is named Hui Li. I am doing research on quantum dots, which are semiconductor nanoparticles that display unique photoluminescence properties. |
| What are your goals/aspirations for the future? |
My ultimate goal is to do work in biotechnology or nanotechnology. In order to achieve my goal, I may end up going to graduate school. After I earn my bachelor’s degree I will apply for a job. If I am unsatisfied with all of the job offers I am given, I will go to graduate school. |
