Lorenzo Galang

University of Pennsylvania - Chemical Engineering and Biophysics

I'm a sophomore at Penn studying chemical engineering and biophysics in the VIPER dual degree program. Some of my research areas include biofuel, microfluidics, and ultrasonication. I'm a huge Philadelphia sports fan, and I like to play spikeball and Pokemon in my free time. Go birds!
