ENCH 417 Thesis Student
Project: Designing emulsions from protein nanofibers
Cassandra is an Engineering Chemistry undergraduate student with an interest in nanobiotechnology and sustainable material design. For her thesis, Cassandra will be working on designing and characterizing stable emulsions using bio-based protein nanofibers (PNFs), which are eco-friendly alternatives to traditional surfactants and can help promote a shift towards greener manufacturing practices in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Outside of the lab, Cassandra enjoys going to the gym, swimming, and photography.
