My name is Michelle.

About Me

I am from Southern New Jersey. I am currently taking EGR103.

Academic Interests

I am planning on majoring in civil or environmental engineering at Duke. I am interested in the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenge titled "Provide access to clean water." My interest in this topic stems from the research projects I conducted throughout high school focused on water purification systems. Most of my work studied ways to optimize the design of biosand filters, which are natural and inexpensive filters used in developing countries. More information on biosand filters can be found here:
