Biotechnology
Since the COVID-19 pandemic biology and chemistry have been the most meaningful pursuit of Andrew Liu’s life. During the pandemic he lost two family friends which affected him dearly and inspired him to pursue a career in biomedical research, development and manufacturing. SMC’s Biotechnology program has provided him with the laboratory and professional skills and training to realize his professional and philanthropic goals. The Advanced Technology Technician Training (AT3) program has provided Andrew with connections to industry in a wide range of nanotechnology fields, including biotechnology. Similarly, the Caltech Connection program has exposed him to research methods in chemical and environmental engineering. Caltech Connection has also provided Andrew with the opportunity to perform primary research which may lead to a publication in a peer reviewed journal. Through discipline and hard work, it is his belief that others may be influenced to help create a better tomorrow for us all.
