Penelope Georges

Associate Director of the Council on Science and Technology and course instructor on a mission to ignite a passion for science in all! This journey has combined two things that excite me: the fascinating world of bioengineering and the rich tapestry of Greek culture. In my free time, you’ll find me crafting, staying active, and cherishing time with my family and dog, Beau.

Caleb Park

I'm a prospective SPIA major from Westfield, NJ. I'm super interested in film and video editing and music. I think that my background in music and the arts allows me to engage in our conversations about bioart. 

Lilia Burtonpatel

I'm a prospective EEB major from Brookline, MA and La Jolla, CA interested in bio-inspired design!  In my spare time I like to collect leaves, write riddles, and make crafts and art, some of which I've been able to integrate into our coursework :).

Joyce Liu

I'm a prospective ORFE major from St. Louis, Missouri who enjoys science fiction and creating art. Exploring the riveting intersection between technology and art through FRS 127 has allowed me to further explore both of these passions.

Joshua Nanyaro

I'm a COS BSE major with a great passion for artistic things! Music, paintings, and literary works, etc I find great value in all things art and technology.

Sebastien Nordenson

I'm a prospective Physics major from New York CIty who loves to debate and play music on the piano and tenor sax.

Mahdi Bhalloo

I'm a proud Long Islander and prospective Electrical and Computer Engineering major with strong passions for medicine and biotechnology. In my free time, I love trying new restaurants, exploring nature, and having political/theological conversations.

Claire Espinosa

Hi! I'm a prospective Economics major from the San Francisco Bay Area, interested in behavioral sciences and design. Graphic design and art have played important parts of my life in recent years, though bioengineering is relatively new to me, so I have enjoyed combining prior knowledge with exploring new topics and fields in FRS127. Traveling to Athens was an incredibly eye-opening experience, both in terms of exposure to ancient technology and also through discussions on topics like transhumanism and Greek philosophy. I also enjoyed learning about Greek culture and the kind of relationships and interactions that are possible through the time spent outside of Princeton's "Orange Bubble" together as a group. 

Nolani Lloyd

Hi, I'm a prospective SPIA major from North Jersey. As someone who has also lived in Los Angeles and Bellevue, Washington, I love to travel and see different parts of the world. In my free time I love watching movies and exploring different parts of campus. Going to Greece with this class was an amazing experience that I'll never forget!

Loreta Quarmine

I am a prospective SPIA major from Ghana living in North Carolina. I'm interested in media journalism and was super excited to create the video compilation of this trip. FRS 127 has opened my eyes to all that bioart encompasses, and I'm grateful to be a part of this class.

Manna Sam

I am a prospective Molecular Biology major from Staten Island, New York. I am interested in learning about bioengineering and I love creating crafts, so I was very grateful to be a part of this class. Being that it was my first time in Europe, Greece opened up a whole new world for me. I enjoyed immersing myself in a new culture and exploring its history and art. I find it fascinating how I am able to connect such ancient principles to our modern day scientific technologies. I hope that I can further continue my studies in molecular biology, now with a better understanding of its history and ethics behind it.
