Meet the 2023-2024 executive board!
President: Kira Martin
Hi! I’m a senior in MatSE with an interest in electronic materials. As the Keramos President this year, I am hoping to expand on Keramos activities and restart the glass shop. If you have any questions about these or Keramos in general, feel free to reach out to me! Outside of Keramos I do undergraduate research at the center for plasma-material interaction, work as a research ambassador for the office of undergrad research, and TA MSE 307 & 308. In my free time I love to cook, read, knit, and hike.
