Jonathan and Ed will begin their sophomore year at Maryland in the fall of 2007. They began their research as freshmen in Professor Li's lab.

Jonathan Chung - graduate DeMatha High School, Hyattsville, MD

Why he likes his research: "With Dr. Li's research, I am almost certain that the applications for this idea are endless. A flexible mobile phone, radio frequency identification tags, synthetic skin, and even a vehicle that can change shape...all of these items are not too far into the future and can be attained through flexible macroelectronics. Just being able to impact people's lives positively through cutting edge technology is great."

After graduation: "I'm currently studying bioengineering as an undergraduate, and hope to attend medical school and become a doctor. After residency, I hope to open my own practice and an engineering & research company."
