STUDENT PERSPECTIVES

Evan Kurt, graduate of Villanova's Master's in Biochemical Engineering program.

"As a full-time student, I enjoyed the independence I had on my research project, but also appreciated the support of Dr. Bill Kelly who provided guidance and connected me with people in industry for further discussion on the topic.”

Evan Kurt, PhD student and graduate researcher, Biomedical Engineering, Duke University

 

Emily Harris, Master’s in Biochemical Engineering.

“I'm grateful to have been part of a graduate program that was small enough to allow me to interact with all of the other graduate students and all of the faculty. It helped me develop a really well-rounded approach to my research.”

Emily Harris ’20 MSBChE, Associate CAR T Cell Scientist, Janssen Pharmaceuticals

 

“There were a lot of pharmaceutical courses throughout the program that were in line with what I do every day. The combination of theory and the practical application in the classroom helped me to apply what I learned to what I do in the lab at work.”

Mike Weiss ’09 ChE, ’16 MSBChE, Senior Supply Execution Manager, Janssen Pharmaceuticals.
