If you could trade lives with one person for a day, who would you choose and why: "David Branch, because he is a prodigy micro-controller programming engineer; He also breaks the stereotype of the nerdy engineer because he wears super stylish hats and has awesome tattoos."

Advice for Freshmen: "First, freshmen should be observant and get to know their successful peers. Kraig Jones is a prime example of the type of freshmen at LSU you should get to know! He is already working on pump analysis for a research paper on the NASA funded project MARSLIFE. My best advice to freshmen is to follow Kraig's lead and just get involved! Whether it's with a NASA funded research project or helping your community with a club like Volunteer LSU, Geaux Big, or Kitchens On The Geaux. Just get involved, study hard, and Geaux get some Experience!"'

Other Organizations: Kitchens On The Geaux, LA-STEM Research Scholars Program, American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronauts.
