My name is Christopher Metellus, and I am a Senior majoring in Mechanical Engineering at the Univeristy of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Before going to college, I have had the privilege of being a Science Achiever at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois. This experience allowed me to strengthen my communication skills and deepen my knowledge in various scientific topics. This experience was also instrumental in allowing me to work with others who were passionate about science. Once I complete my Bachelor of Science degree, I aim to pursue a PhD in either Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, or Electrical Engineering.
