AMBITION
Jiacheng’s dream is uncomplicated. He just wants to travel around the world.
INTERESTING FACT ABOUT HIM
He loves philosophy. Thankfully, the kind of philosophy he’s inclined towards is not Sartre’s “Hell is other people” or Schopenhauer’s relentless pessimism, but more Lao Tzu’s “Simplicity, patience, compassion.” (Editor’s note: It is with deepest regret that I announce the premature demise of the editorial gerbils, Pinky and The Brian. Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit was too much to handle. This intellectual deficiency will be rectified in the next generation of editorial gerbils.)
ROLE
Team Leader, Head of Wet Lab, Member of Science Team and Human Practices Team
AMBITION
Nanda hopes to make the world a better place in any way she can, which includes helping anyone in need of her love and support.

ROLE
Member of Science Team, Wet Lab Team, Safety Team, and Creative Team

Ting Ting has a passion for fashion, and hopes to combine this with what she’s learning as a life sciences student.
INTERESTING FACT ABOUT HER
For some incredibly odd reason, pigs stop when they meet Ting Ting. One day she may accidentally cause a traffic jam, either because all those pigs are blocking the way, or because she’s the chicest chica around.
ROLE
Head of Modelling, Member of Creative Team and Hardware Team
AMBITION
When Marcus was a wee lad, he wanted to become a reality television star so he constantly practiced throwing drinks on everyone bar complete strangers. This dream was cruelly dashed so he’s studying biomedical engineering instead, in the hopes of becoming rich enough to own a lawn. He covets this hallowed, immaculate patch of greenery solely for the pleasure of being able to yell at young humans to GET OFF HIS LAWN.
INTERESTING FACT ABOUT HIM
He loves feeling moisturized. Please send him many free samples of moisturizer.
ROLE
Head of Outreach, Member of Human Practices Team, Member of Wet Lab Team, Member of Hardware Team

AMBITION
Walter dreams of being the world's deadliest spy or becoming part of a secret intelligence organisation. He is also interested in having a dish named after him, getting crowned champion of an IKEA hotdog speed-eating contest, or defusing a bomb whilst performing open heart surgery in a war-torn country. Failing which, Walter is quite satisfied with being able to wake up on time for his lessons (which start at the eminently reasonable time of 12pm had Walter been living in Honolulu instead).
INTERESTING FACT ABOUT HIM
He is a rather cunning linguist, having attained a respectable degree of fluency in English, Chinese, Cantonese, French, Spanish, and sarcasm.
ROLE
Team Leader, Head of Creative, Member of Science Team and Wet Lab Team

INTERESTING FACT ABOUT HER
She loves it when people teach her things they’re passionate about. Languages, carpentry, sewing, bring it on! (Especially quantum mechanics someone please teach her please please please she really needs it for her teleportation thing...)
ROLE
Treasurer, Head of Marketing, Head of Human Practices, Member of Science Team and Wet Lab Team
AMBITION
He wants to be an academic researcher and a technopreneur. He loves all sorts of animals and admires Taylor Nicole Dean and her pets. Perhaps that is why he desires his very own pogo stick, so he can bounce and frolic alongside his furry friends like the loveliest, prettiest Disney princess there ever was.
INTERESTING FACT ABOUT HIM
He owns many pairs of broken shoes (including trainers), worn out in his never-ending quest to be a Pokémon trainer.)
ROLE

AMBITION
Russell strongly believes in change, and thinks that synthetic biology is one of the keys to change, which is why he’s taking part in iGEM.
INTERESTING FACT ABOUT HIM
He tried to join the previous year’s iGEM team, but was unsuccessful due to unfortunate circumstances beyond his control. However, this year he’s finally here, and raring to go! If anything else, it speaks to his tremendous passion for synthetic biology and demonstrates his sheer tenacity. Russell also enjoys taking naps at lunchtime, and feels very much at home in IKEA, especially during lunchtime. His favourite pop artiste is Norlie & KKV.
ROLE
Head of Science, Member of Wet Lab Team, Modelling Team, and Human Practices Team
AMBITION
Hao Yuan aspires to do something good using (surprise, surprise) synthetic biology. Other less lofty life goals include re-learning how to play the piano, watching his beloved football team in the flesh, and learning Japanese so he can finally watch anime without subtitles.
INTERESTING FACT ABOUT HIM
Besides being a science buff, he’s also physically buff! He plays tennis using tables rather than rackets. (Editor’s Note: The editorial gerbils report that something may have been lost in transcription. The editor thus warns that the accuracy of Hao Yuan’s interesting fact may have been compromised, an understandable result of salvaging the remains of Hao Yuan’s files from gerbil excrement.)
ROLE

Participating in iGEM to learn more about synthetic biology is all part of her plan for world domination.
INTERESTING FACT ABOUT HER
With the help of some good old-fashioned British sci-fi technology, she owns a hammerhead shark named Clarence whose former self currently exists alongside its present self, thus contravening the First Law of Time.
ROLE
Member of Modelling Team, Human Practices Team, and Hardware Team
AMBITION
Aaron dreams of growing up to be a porcelain Bugatti Veyron ready to experience the quantum headspace of the vast unknown. In addition, he wants to stop being mistaken for the other Aaron.
