Accomplishments
"Aaron has made great contribution to outreach and education in my lab at USC. He's worked with the team here at USC to devise novel educational laboratory procedures to actually demonstrate polymer recycling and remanufacturing tools readily available in high schools, then led an effort to deploy these at his school and others. He's shown uncharacteristic aptitude and follow-through among students that I have had in his peer group"
