Kenneth Rachwalski

Position: Ph.D. Candidate

About: My research delves into the complexities of genetic interactions in bacteria, but when I'm not in the lab, I delight in the art of cooking, dining, and sports. With a love for adventure and a thirst for knowledge, I hope to one day explore the awe-inspiring mountains of Peru and bring new insights back to my work. My passion lies at the intersection of science, innovation, and real-world impact, and I am always striving to make a difference while seeking new opportunities for growth and discovery.
