Team:Imperial College London/Team/Students

Atipat is also known as Ming. (people sometimes call him ATP, which he finds a bit geeky) He is a third year Biochemist and responsible for _____ (and also drawing everyone's picture). Apart from Biochemistry, he loves playing the piano, drawing anime, gardening, and also cooking (and eating too).

Chris is going into his 3rd year of Biochemistry at Imperial College London and our official head of parts characterisation. He has been interested in Synthetic Biology since the last year's team presented their project in October. His other interests include creative writing, martial arts, the classical guitar and traveling. He is German but was born in Colombia and has lived in the USA and Spain.

Frank is halfway through his degree in Biochemistry at Imperial and responsible for the software and hardware. He has been a huge fan of Synthetic Biology ever since he watched The Andromeda Strain and The Day of the Triffids. When he is not working, he likes gaming, loud music, and making short films and he is going to try and include them all in this project!

We generally call Jiayue Nina to make our lives easier since nobody can pronounce her name correctly. She is a 2nd year bioengineer and very glad to be here with the team and to do some amazing fancy stuff. She is in charge of all media-related issues.

Nick has just finished the second year of the Bsc Biology degree at Imperial. He has been attracted to synthetic biology because of the immense potential and creativity that is hidden in it, yet still following the strict scientific thinking. His hobbies include everything to do with Nature and the great outdoors, hiking, climbing, caving and just the joy of being out.

Nikki just finished her undergrad in Biochemistry and is responsible for cloning strategies and outreach/PR. She wants to try put what she's learnt into practice at iGEM. Her life isn't all about science, she is passionate about music and travel and hopes to do a round the world trip as well as complete the Mongol Rally.

Rebekka just finished a degree in Biology. She is responsible for human practices and has the job of looking after supplies and protocols in the lab. She likes the creative aspect of synthetic biology but also how useful it can be in tackling problems in all kinds of areas. Outside of Biology, she is interested in photography, travelling and cooking.

Si just graduated from Biomedical Engineering Department of Imperial College London. She is responsible for modelling strategies. She is looking forward to delivering some solid solution that can be applied in reality in the future.

Yuanwei just finished the 2nd year of his biomedical engineering degree. He is our wiki mastermind. He probably wants to specialise in the mechanical aspect of bioengineering, dealing with stuff like biomechanics and similar things. He is also quite interested about going into the area of biomedical imaging. In his free time, he likes to play his accordion and he loves to travel to different places and explore the world. He is looking forward to delivering something amazing on this iGEM project.
