Elizabeth Voke graduated in 2020 with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering with an interest in German. During her free time, she could be found running around campus or exploring the hiking trails in the valley. In the lab, she studied the effects of charge patterning on polypeptide-based complex coacervation. Her Honors Thesis project was pursued in collaboration with 3M Corporation, testing out the effect of novel polymers on protein encapsulation in complex coacervates.
In 2018, Liz participated in the Young Scholars Summer Research Program in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder.
In 2019, Liz participated in the Amgen Scholars Summer Research Program at UC Berkeley.
Since graduating, Liz has joined the PhD program in Chemical Engineering at UC Berkeley, and is a member of Prof. Markita Landry's Lab. In 2021 she was awarded a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship Award!
