Spotlight On Our People
Akash Dhawan
Graduate Student, Andrew and Peggy Cherng Department of Medical Engineering
I am a G3 in Medical Engineering working with Professor Julie Kornfield. I graduated from Rice University with a BS in Bioengineering in 2019. I am an MD/PhD student, so I attended USC Keck School of Medicine for two years before arriving here at Caltech in 2021. My current research focuses on triggering collagen self-assembly using light to make 3D cell scaffolds with controlled architecture. I am interested in regenerative medicine, and I hope that these scaffolds can be used in wound healing applications. I want to become a physician-scientist so I can understand the current problems in medicine from my patients and use the skills I learn here at Caltech to develop novel technologies and treatments that are cheaper, quicker, and more effective. Outside of work, I enjoy trying new things, live music, running, baking, video games, and spending time with my foster dogs!
Mario Solis
Undergraduate Student, Computing and Mathematical Sciences
Hello! My name is Mario and I’m a Junior studying Computer Science. I’m passionate about several fields within CS such as software engineering, machine learning, and data science. I spent this past summer working as a software engineering intern at Microsoft in Redmond, WA, specifically in Azure Native Cloud. I’m a member of Venerable House, where I’m a Peer Advocate to support others in the House as well as others on campus. I love hanging out with people in the House and participating in all of our traditions like House dinner and birthdays! In addition, this year, I am the President of the Caltech Hispanic & Latino Association (CHLA). I’m excited to bring more events that support the Hispanic/Latino community at Caltech. I also just started working as a RISE Tutor to support High School students in the Pasadena area. In terms of my hobbies, I love playing intramural soccer and watching sports.
We'd like to feature you!
