Undergraduate Researcher; UBC Chemical and Biological Engineering
As an undergraduate researcher at Dr. Rojas’s lab in Bioproducts Institute, I have been working on the project that aims to turn wheat residues into textile fibers. My role in the project is to run experiments to obtain optimal pulp that is well suited for wet-spinning that makes the fibers. This is my first time working in the lab, and I have learned a lot; from planning experiments to learning how to operate equipment, this work term has been full of new inspirations.
