Background

About Adarsh Suresh

Hello! I'm Adarsh, a Ph.D. candidate in Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago. In the lab, I investigate the design and scalable fabrication of carbon-based materials that are simultaneously light and strong for applications in the construction, transportation, and packaging industries. Alongside my research, I value the opportunity to teach and mentor because education has the ability to nurture new passions and create potentially life-altering paths for younger students. These experiences and interactions continually inform and shape my dual roles as a learner and guide. Outside the lab, I am a passionate science communicator committed to making complex topics engaging and approachable. Through engaging with over K-12 students in Chicago's Public Schools, Museums, and other community-based events, I aim to spark curiosity and a love for science in young minds. Outside my academic pursuits, I enjoy stand-up & improv comedy, fostering cats, playing pool/snooker, and cooking (but mostly eating):) Let's connect to share ideas and inspire each other to make a difference through education!
