                            <strong>What kind of impact can your Davidson Fellows project, “Solar-Powered Ozone and<br>

UVC-Based Decontaminator,” have on society?</strong><br>

Worldwide, 420,000 people die annually from foodborne illnesses. Almost 30% are children<br>

under the age of five. I designed, built, and tested a portable, solar powered device to<br>

decontaminate a variety of bacteria from foods and utensils in areas where access to easy<br>

cleaning methods or electricity is limited. The device reduced various types of bacteria on the surface of potatoes, kale, eggs, and forks by greater than 99%. If implemented, the device could help prevent food-borne illnesses and save lives.<br>

<br>

<strong>What are some of your short-term and long-term plans?</strong><br>

In the short term, I plan to continue my studies in electrical engineering and computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I hope to continue exploring other disciplines and learning about the ways interdisciplinary research can help solve the world’s biggest problems. I plan to earn a masters and PhD in electrical engineering and computer science. My dream job involves working in space science and exploration, but I’m also interested in discovering new technologies to address climate change. No matter what the future holds, I am excited to see it!<br>

<br>

<strong>Please describe your academic setting and some positive experiences with mentors? </strong><br>

Over the course of my science project, I have had several mentors. Dr. Doreene Hyatt and Mr. Pete Justice at Colorado State University’s (CSU) microbiology lab, helped me gain laboratory experience and knowledge working with microbes. They taught me things I would never have learned on my own. They took a chance on an excited middle school student and continued with me through high school as I built upon and expanded my project. I also worked in CSU’s Zadrozny Lab. My mentors there, Ms. Cassidy Jackson and Dr. Joe Zadrozny, gave me new and exciting ideas and access to chemistry equipment that I never would have been able to use otherwise. My experiences in CSU’s labs gave me the love for research that I have today.
