KHS class of 2021 alum Carolina Da Fonseca Guedes spoke to Mr. Vega’s Forensics Lab Honors students about several topics including the opportunities they have to become involved in academic research when they get to college, the need for more women in STEM fields, college life in general, and how she used the opportunities she had as a student at KHS to get to where she is today.
Carolina is a 3rd year student at St Peter's University triple majoring in Chemistry with a Forensic concentration, Biochemistry, and Mathematics, in addition to being in the Accelerated Master of Education program. During her time at St. Peter's, she has assisted in scientific research on the use of cashew nut shells in carbon-based supercapacitors for sustainable battery technology, and in the use of ruthenium complexes in hydrogen fuel cells, the latter of which she will be presenting at the American Chemical Society meeting later this month. She is also beginning the process of applying for PhD programs in Chemistry
