We are The Yang Group at UTC.
My name is Lisa Phan and I'm a student at UTC majoring in Chemical Engineering. I like traveling and baking.
My name is Eathan Lee, I am a Chemical Engineering major, in my junior year, who is interested in possibly
pursuing research inside or outside of academia. I am on this research team to get
some experience in research outside of normal coursework.
My name is Evan Patrick. I'm a chemical engineering undergraduate at UTC. When I'm not involved in school
work or undergraduate research, I'm working with the ChemECar team, reading, or playing
with my band Moon Hollow.
My name is Evan Gildernew. My Grandfather purchased a chemistry set for me when I was 9 and we completed experiments
at his dining room table for many years. My Father ran a construction company from
which I drew many materials, this allowed my chemistry experiments to continue well
into high school culminating in the construction of a reflux column and an FM radio
transmitter. I graduated from Covenant College with History and Psychology degrees
and a goal to go into counseling but ended up working at an Investment Advisory firm.
Three years ago I decided I wanted to change the course of my life and started completing
the requirements for a Chemical Engineering degree with a minor in Chemistry. I have
always been drawn to research and when I heard Dr. Yang's research goals I knew I
wanted to be a part of the work. My current research project is in the adsorption
modeling of water. I tutor Chemistry at McCallie school and work as youth director
for East Ridge Presbyterian Church. I enjoy road cycling and kayaking.
Hannah Margavio is a sophomore chemical engineering major in the Brock Scholars program. An avid
fan of mathematics and physics, she is especially interested in fuel sustainability
and efficiency in energy consumption. Outside of academia, you may find her playing
with cats, singing, or hiking in the mountains.
