Hi! I’m Cooper (he/him) and I'm double majoring in chemistry and materials science and minoring in biotechnology and biochemical engineering. Having grown up at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Boulder, Colorado, I have a deep love for the outdoors and am an avid fly fisherman. When I’m not holed up in Deering Library practicing organic chemistry mechanisms, you can find me running the lakefill, exploring the Evanston coffee scene, or jamming out to Bruce Springsteen with my favorite pink headphones. Outside of the classroom, I develos stem cell-based wound therapies with a regenerative engineering project team, tutor in math and science at a local middle school, and am on the exec board for the nanotechnology club. I LOVE Shepard res college and look forward to supporting all its incredible community members in my position as academic co-chair!
