Students

Jacelyn Escovar is a fourth year at Trinity University and originally from Houston, Texas. She is a first generation student majoring in Biochemistry with a minor in English. Her interest in chemistry began during the fall semester of her second year when she was first introduced to organic chemistry. She is very excited about diving deeper into polymer and organic chemistry alongside Dr. Borden (or Mia) and her peers!

Hi, my name is Hannah Paul and I am a rising senior studying Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I have worked closely with Dr. Borden in synthesizing an array of photocatalysts last summer and will continue my work this year by conducting various polymerizations! Outside of the lab, I like to draw, go on long drives, and hang out with my little sister.

Mia's loyal companion of 7 years. Luna is best known for her passionate defense of Mia's home from viscous bunnies. Since moving to Texas, she has expanded her specialty to lizards.

Mia's newest companion. Bpy is more of a physicist than a chemist because his greatest passion is ensuring that gravity still works. by knocking Mia's stuff to the ground.
