New Crook Committee for 2022
26 September 2022
A warm welcome to Pamela Emanuelle Ishak, Nathanael Widjaja, Shaofeng Xu, Jaanvi Gandhi and Naomi Ayanniran
The Crook Society is the UCL Biochemical Engineering undergraduate events society and we're very pleased to announce the new committee members for 2022-2023:
Pamela Emanuelle, President
I studied an IB (HL biology, chemistry, english) and am now on the Bioprocessing of New Medicines (Science and Engineering) programme and I'm interested in Stem cells and Regenerative medicine.
My goal this year is to deliver events that the undergraduate students genuinely want and would enjoy. I’m hoping being this society’s committee would provide me with the opportunity to interact with the whole department, instead of only my batch. Overall, I really hope this year will make up for the two in-person years that we lost to covid :”)
Nathanael Widjaja, Treasurer
Before coming to UCL Biochemical Engineering I took an IB Diploma in Jakarta, HLs: biology, chemistry and mathematics, SLs: English, Indonesian and information technology in a global society and am now doing my degree in Biochemical engineering. I'm interested in artificial, lab grown meat
As treasurer, I'm looking forward to being able to get out of my comfort zone and face new challenges.
Shaofeng Xu, General Secretary
My A levels were in Math, Further math, chemistry and physics and I'm now taking a Beng Biochemical Engineering. My research interest is in stem cells like reprogramming and their differentiation potential.
I'm very excited to meet new friends from our department in every cohort. Hope we can organise wonderful events together!
Jaanvi Gandhi, Vice President
I completed my International Baccalaureate (IB) in India. My subjects were Business Management, Economics and Biology HL and Math, English and French B SL. I'm now on the Bsc Bioprocessing of New Medicines (Business and Management). I never thought I would end up in the Biochemical Engineering department, but I absolutely love it! My main interests lie in manufacturing and compounding of pharmaceuticals as well as the applications of bioprocessing in production of food & beverages!
Spending a year in the department has shown me the various possibilities and applications of this field! I am looking forward to meeting more people from our department and attending all our career events for more exposure to the industry!
Naomi Ayanniran, Social Secretary
I'm from Manchester, UK and I studied A-levels in Biology, Chemistry, Maths & Spanish. I'm not studying the MEng Biochemical Engineering and my academic interests lie in the bioprocessing of gene therapy products.
I'm looking forward to organising in-person events to promote new relationships & connections between undergrad students of different years within the department.
