Summer Experience in Science and Engineering for Youth (SESEY) is a week long program to promote education in STEM fields. Our summer 2022 research team investigated the diffusion properties of hydrogels.

Our summer 2024 SESEY team improved upon this research investigating the effects of hydrogel and crosslinker density on gel diffusion rates for gels in transwell plates.

Pastimes include rock climbing, biking slacklining, skiing, backpacking, swimming, painting, and baking.
