Kimberly Lu worked in the lab as a fourth-year undergraduate student in Chemical and Biological Engineering. She also pursued a certificate in Materials Science and Engineering. Her interests include the development of sustainable materials and all sciences related to preserving the environment. Her research in the lab focused on colloidal transport through porous media.

Kim's upbringing in Chicago has steeled her against all forms of New Jersey weather. She has at least one of the following items on her person: a frisbee, a camera, and/or a kazoo. Her sixth sense is thrifting and at any given time, she can list off every store within a 10-mile radius.
