Since winning the Florida BioGENEius Competition in 2007, Jeremy continued to fuel his passion for science. He earned his undergraduate degree in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard and a Ph.D. in Biology at Stanford University.
I still vividly remember my first research experiences as a high school student … this spark endures and still motivates me today as I teach and inspire future scientists…
During his Ph.D., Jeremy discovered his passion for teaching. At Chapman University he now uses evidence-based practices to teach courses to his students. He is committed to promoting diversity in science, both inside and outside the classroom. In addition to serving as a science mentor to underrepresented minority students, he has conducted numerous outreach workshops and classes for K-12 students, and frequently volunteers as a judge for science fairs.
