Dylan Brown is a PhD student in Northwestern’s Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. He graduated from the University of New Mexico with a BS in chemical engineering and North Carolina State University with an MS in forest biomaterials. At Northwestern, Dylan works on developing simple biological devices for detecting environmental contaminants to create technologies that allow people to easily gain information about water quality. Throughout his educational journey, he has been interested in the interface of art and science, how philosophies from each field can be used to advance the other, and how art can be a tool to increase societal engagement with new scientific topics.
