I have a range of interests from video editing to reading philosophical texts. Outside of that, I enjoy playing football and basketball.

Hi! I’m Poline, an engineering undergrad at the University of Cambridge. I am passionate about semiconductors and turning cars into sun-powered wonders. To do this, I’m exploring flexible perovskite solar cells that get attached to the curves of car roofs—think solar panels that bend instead of break! By tweaking their chemistry, we keep them efficient even when bent 🚗🌞

Currently at the University of Cambridge studying Human, Social, and Political Sciences, specialising in Sociology. Experienced in law, politics, and campaigning. Interested in pursuing equality through social policy and human rights law.

My name is Saskia and I'm a first year Geography undergraduate at the University of Cambridge. I'm interested in all things physical and human geography, but in particular I'm passionate about exploring how these physical and human dimensions overlap when talking about Climate Change. I enjoy sports and socialising outside of work life!

I am a second year undergraduate studying Human Social and Political Sciences at the University of Cambridge.

Hi! I am a philosophy undergraduate at Cambridge University. Within my course, my main interests are Political Philosophy, Moral Psychology, Applied Ethics, Free Will, and Philosophy of Mind.  My project centred on investigating whether changing the dominant narrative surrounding human nature has the potential to encourage prosocial behaviour. I am interested in progressive forms of education, and so my LIA project took place in an amazing school in Kenya, Freedom International Schools - Africa.  Get in touch with me via the network, LinkedIn, or feel free to email me: aw916@cam.ac.uk
