Eleni is a sassy chemical engineer who is known for her big, curly hair, and her love for unique earrings and bright eye makeup. She recently completed her PhD in the areas of chemical engineering, materials science and biocatalysis. She also holds an MSc on sustainable engineering and an MEng in chemical engineering.
During her academic studies she got involved with numerous extra curricular activities, such as community outreach, public engagement, teaching, and active participation in societies and networks. Currently, she is transitioning away from active research, being a part time teaching assistant on employability and a freelance scientific writer.
You can find her on LinkedIn (Eleni Routoula), Instagram (@curleni), or Twitter (@EleniRoutoula), where she enjoys talking about her academic experiences and helping others by sharing useful tips on various research or academic related subjects.
Darsh is a biomedical sciences undergrad who has loved all aspects of science for as long as she can remember. She is a research assistant at MaRs, where she collaborates on breast cancer research where her research group specifically looks at EGFR.
​
From a young age she was always interested in social justice and the inequalities people face due to trivial things such as the color of their skin or their gender. As she grew up and entered the field of science, her passion for social justice translated into promoting the representation of women in science. She has held conferences that recognize the contributions of women in science in the hopes of inspiring younger women.
​
In the future, she wants to change the perception of what "women in science" look like, so that it is inclusive of all types of women. Outside of biology, she is a food enthusiast, skincare connoisseur and a total physics geek.
