Brian Aguilar
Email: baguil11@asu.edu
I am a Sophomore majoring in Biomedical Engineering with a minor in Mathematics. I chose this field because I was naturally interested in the human body and its complexities and wanted a way to design better solutions for it. Biomedical Engineering seemed like a perfect way to do that, coupled with a minor in mathematics to really understand the building blocks of engineering.
My current research interests include Drug Delivery methods, Tissue Engineering, and Biomaterials. Some of my hobbies include playing/learning to play the violin, listening to music, and reading.

Tien Le
I am going into my senior year for my BS in Chemical Engineering with a minor in Spanish, and will be pursuing the 4+1 accelerated Masters program also in Chemical Engineering.
I have hopes of being involved in clinical research for drug development and looking forward to career development in the pharmaceutical sector.
Aside from academics, I spend much of my time in non-profit projects that aim to reduce the casualities involving health-related complications in the local homeless population (Project Hygiene).
