Emily de Jong worked in the lab as a senior undergraduate student in Chemical and Biological Engineering; she also pursued a certificate in Applied & Computational Mathematics. Her interests include the process dynamics and physics of energy and the environment, and her research in the lab focused on understanding clogging in porous media. She moved on to a PhD program in Mechanical Engineering at Caltech after graduating.

Emily was born and raised near Dallas, Texas, but quickly fell in love with the winding hills of central Jersey. In her free time, you might find her out cycling, rehearsing with the orchestra, or playing any number of intramural sports. Be wary in conversation though--she simply cannot resist a good pun!
