Zackery E Senock
Zackery Edward Senock is a college student pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Chemical Engineering with a minor in Mathematics at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. He has spent many hours working in laboratories for the advancement of dye-sensitized solar cell. He has completed all of this work to further show his interest in renewable and sustainable energy. Upon completion of his undergraduate career he hopes to find a job as an environmental chemical engineer. In high school, Zackery was consistently on the high honor roll and graduated from Freedom Area High School with honors. Outside of high school Zackery attended private music lessons from sixth to twelfth grade. It was because of this that Zackery went on to attend PMEA District 5 Honors Band four times, PMEA District Band three times, PMEA Beaver County Band six times, to play with the River City Brass Band, and at Heinz Hall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Zackery has always been very dedicated and hardworking to make his goals a reality. He continues to work diligently to be the best person he can be and overtakes many obstacles that he faces in life. Zackery's future will be bright and full of opportunities; he always finds the positives in the negative situations and can learn to work around any obstacle.
Claudia R Torrillo
As an undergraduate studying Chemical engineering, Claudia Torrillo is always looking for new opportunities that can help expand her knowledge in this particular line of work. She enjoys the challenges she faces in engineering at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown that test both her critical thinking skills as well as her ability to adapt in various learning environments. Some fields of interest she would be happy to work on post college include helping to make renewable energy globally accessible, as well as working with others to design and manufacture environmentally friendly products. Claudia has gained experience in product design and manufacturing through the Kennametal Young Engineers Program. As a graduate from Greater Latrobe Senior High School, Claudia was the secretary of the National Honors Society, and a consistent distinguished honor roll student. As a competitive athlete, she holds leadership roles through soccer at the collegiate level. When she is not participating in athletics or academics, she is working with fellow peers on establishing a Chemical engineering club and society to incorporate into the new program. She also enjoys spending time with friends through the Society of Women in Engineering along with various outdoor activities. She feels strongly about the environment and hopes to one day be published.
Geeta Verma
Geeta Verma is an undergraduate student, majoring in Computer Science at UPJ. She already has as Associate Degree (A.S.) in Computer Science from Baton Rouge Community College. After A.S., she worked as an intern at Great Lakes (Chemtura) chemical company for eight months in Arkansas. During that time, she got an opportunity to learn Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software; she also gained deep knowledge of chemical industry. After working in a chemical industry, she has gained interest in chemical engineering and now wants learn more. She is planning to complete double major in Computer Science and Chemical Engineering. She is a charming personality and has great enthusiasm to learn and explore new things. She expressed her interest in learning about research and presently a member of my undergraduate research group.
