Alex Miranda

Junior, Chemistry

Ever since I was a kid, I have been interested in the “how”s and “why”s of the world. To this end, STEM has always called out to me. I enjoy understanding what makes up the Universe we live in. I am working towards my degree in chemistry with a minor in biology, in hopes of pursuing a career as a chemical researcher in industry. In my free time, I enjoy Dungeons and Dragons, as well as spending time with my wonderful girlfriend.

Jurgen Beller

Junior, Biology

I am majoring in Molecular and Biomedical Biology with a minor in chemistry. In the future, I hope to attend medical school and work my way to become a physician. I love to understand how things work and I want to solve problems that will benefit the health of others. At UNO, I am also involved in the club soccer team, Delta Chi fraternity, and chemistry club. In my free time, I enjoy board games, traveling, soccer, and hanging out with my family and friends.

Cody Schappert

Sophomore, Chemistry

Growing up, math and science always came relatively easily to me, but it wasn’t until late middle school that I realized my passion for science in particular. In high school, this passion narrowed to chemistry and specifically doing lab work. I found doing different experiments to be very interesting, and most times, a lot of fun. I plan to pursue a doctorate at Caltech and work for NASA as a chemist.

This may be you!
