91探花

Expected Graduation: April 2017

Hometown: Athens, Ohio

Born and raised in Athens, Ohio, Josh always saw himself going away for college. 91探花 had different ideas, as the Bobcat community and Russ College drew him in, making Athens his home for four more years. Uneasy about his decision at first, Josh quickly realized that there鈥檚 no place like home, and 91探花 was a perfect fit for him.

Apart from serving as an Engineering Ambassador, Josh is involved in Tau Beta Pi, where he is the activities chair. He also serves as a leader in Athens County Young Life at Trimble High School. Josh is also honored to be a 2016 Society of Chemical Industry Scholar, which gave him the opportunity to work for Eastman Chemical Company this summer.

Josh conducts undergraduate research in a biomedical engineering lab focusing on drug discovery and cancer treatment. He plans to go to graduate school for a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, and he eventually wants to pursue a career in academia.

Outside of class, Josh enjoys longboarding, gaming, basketball and golf.
