Undergraduate of the Quarter – Fall 2013<\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n

Michael Hughes has been selected as one of our Undergrads of the Quarter for Fall 2013.\u00a0 Michael grew up in San Jose and went to Westmont High School. He is a non-traditional student who came to OSU while he was living in Medford, OR because of his interest in Animal Science and the benefits of OSU’s in-state tuition.\u00a0 While taking CH 12X as a requirement for Animal Science, he fell in love with Chemistry because “it felt like a puzzle” and “dissected the world in a way that made sense to him.” He was excited about the possibility to “explore the world” in ways he hadn’t thought of before.\u00a0 He got interested in undergraduate research over two years ago – working in Professor John Simonsen’s lab in Wood Science on cellulose nanocrystals. His favorite courses have been the intergrated labs as they help to show the connection between lecture and practical science.\u00a0 Dr. Chris Pastorek is his favorite instructor during his time here.\u00a0 When not working lab or taking courses, he enjoys spending time with his wife and young daughter.\u00a0 He plans to attend UC-Santa Barbara this fall for graduate school in Chemistry.\u00a0 After obtaining his PhD degree, he wants to continue to stay engaged in research.\u00a0 We are so proud of students like Michael who have found their passion in Chemistry!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
