About

I’m Khanh, a chemical engineering graduate with a Master of Science from the University of Washington, passionate about using data, engineering, and curiosity to create solutions that serve people and communities. I am the kind of person who is always the first to explore every corner of a new space, and I approach research and technical challenges with the same curiosity. With hands-on experience in both wet labs and computational research environments, I bring a unique blend of experimental rigor, analytical thinking, and a human-centered approach to problem solving. I’m especially drawn to projects at the intersection of health, sustainability, and technology—where innovation can have real-world, long-lasting impact.
