Jalen Borne

Hi, y'all! I'm Jalen, a Master's student studying Materials Science and Engineering at Georgia Tech! As part of my thesis, I'm researching different ways to build organic cells. I'm a part of Charged Magazine because I want to show my love of science through articles, videos, and interviews. I also hope to educate people about multiple facets of diversity in STEM.
