Dublin, California, United States
Freshman at UC Irvine with an interest in chemical engineering in the food, pharmaceutical, and energy industries
Collaborated with team members to design a stopping mechanism based on the color change in a luminol and bleach chemical reaction Ran variations of experiments to analyze data points and create a line of best fit to make a usable equation that would be as accurate as possible during competition day Implemented wet laboratory skills to create the solution of luminol with a sodium hydroxide base with a bleach and water mixture
Brainstormed with team members the possible brew types we could make to maximize the amount of carbonation while still maintaining the ideal flavor and sweetness Researched the chemical process of fermentation in ginger-based drinks, observed the pros and cons of old and modern ginger ale designs Prepared, brewed, and fermented multiple brew types from honey to fruit juices to sugars, working on creating the brew that is the most efficient, flavorful, and cost-effective
