insert quote

After leading last year's inaugural iGEM team to a gold award last year, Iowis returned this year to further grow the team. Outside of iGEM, he studies the characteristics of DNA looping protein in Dr. Kahn's lab. He has had the entire periodic table memorised since 8th grade. Outside of lab, he loves reading manga, watching sports (a NE Patriots fan), and following the global stock market. He recently visited India last winter and Germany last summer. After graduation he plans to enter MD/PhD program.

Kevin Fan

Finance Director, Tallest Asian

4th year: Neurobiology, Technology Entrepreneurship

Standing at 190cm, Kevin is the tallest Asian on the team. He joined iGEM because of its fast-paced, multidisciplinary, problem solving nature. He is the founder of SuperScore Inc, and serves on the national board of Kids Are Scientists Too. He hopes to attain a MD/MBA someday. In his spare time, Kevin enjoys boxing, parkour, and reading.

Chun Mun Loke

Website Director, Best Kohai

2nd year: Biochemistry, Molecular Genetics, Physics, Music

"Has Iowis-senpai noticed me yet?"

Hailing from Singapore and Australia, Chun Mun's strong interest in genetic engineering prompted him to join iGEM. He hopes to conduct research in this field after attaining an MD/PhD. Outside of school, he is a self proclaimed piano prodigy, having won consecutive local competitions and finalising in international ones. He can solve a Rubik's cube in a very slow average of 17 seconds and is an avid video gamer. He is actually not a weeaboo as some aspects of his profile may suggest.

Juhye Kang

Ice Queen

2nd year: Neurobiology

Hi I'm Juhye. I'm a sophomore Neurobiology/Physiology and Nutritional Science double major, planning on going to medical school to become either a dermatologist or a pediatric oncologist Other than iGEM, I'm currently part of another research team on campus focusing on a support program for Korean breast cancer patients. In my free time I enjoy dancing, reading, and watching way too many crime shows in one sitting while consuming mac and cheese. Cheese is my favorite type of food.

Dania Benalla

Programmer

2nd year: Computer Science, Microbiology

Hi, my name is Dania Benalla and I am a sophomore microbiology and computer science double major. Much like many of the UMD team, I am a part of the UMD integrated life sciences program and hope to go medical school in the future. My interests include reading, Netflix and sleeping way too much.

Samiha Ahmed

Team Artist

2nd year: Neurobiology, Public Health

Hi, my name is Samiha Ahmed and I'm a sophomore Neurobiology and Physiology and Public Health Sciences double major. I hope to go to medical school one day, and I love all things arts and crafts related.

Sarah Wain

Programmer

2nd year: Chemical Engineering, Computer Science

I am a sophomore and member of the Gemstone Honors College. I was predominantly involved in the Wiki design. In addition to iGem, I work in a Polymer Chemistry lab and enjoy finding as much free food as possible.

Pavel Vlasov

Lab Member

4th year: Biochemistry, Molecular Genetics

Wanna hear a joke?

I am a senior and member of the Integrated Life Sciences Honors College at UMD, and am originally from the distant land of Russia. Outside of iGEM, I also have another internship at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland, where I am working with thyroid cells. Outside of academics and scientific work, my hobbies include video games, model kits, fencing, anime, and writing science-fiction stories.
