Backgroud Info
Hello, my name is Aaron Young, and I will be a sophomore in the school of biomedical engineering at Purdue next fall. I have lived in West Lafayette, Indiana all of my life and graduated slightly over a year ago from Harrison High School as valedictorian. I have a variety of interests and participate in a number of Purdue organizations that correspond to these. Besides iGEM which I recently got involved with, I also participate with the biomedical engineering society here at Purdue, the Shakespeare society in which I became a founding member of this past year, and also Campus Crusade for Christ, a Christian organization that is on many campuses throughout the country. My favorite hobbies include, but are hardly limited to, hanging out with my group of friends, video games, and tennis. I am one of a minority group of people that actually enjoy school and I hope to go into graduate school and do research once I finish my undergraduate degree. My favorite academic subjects include biology – which makes sense considering I’m doing this project and entering biomedical engineering, programming, because its one of the few areas where everything is perfectly logical (well nearly), and history among others. Anyway, I look forward to working with everyone, and I hope that some of my skills will help as I’m not exactly an expert in the field we are doing, but at least I’ll have fun learning what ever I can about the project and the biology involved!
