Hailey Tran
VP Operations
Hi, I'm Hailey! One of my main jobs is to design and update this website with all the latest info. I also keep AIChE's documents organized, so it's easier for everyone to find what they need! A fun fact about me is I have a twin sister but we look nothing alike--we're 4 inches apart :)

Eric Oberholtz
Department Chair
Hi all, I'm Eric! My favorite thing about being Department Chair is getting to help others build relations with our department faculty. When I'm not working on school, AIChE, work, or research, I enjoy running and playing music. Let me know if there's any way I can help you!

Zorex Villadelgado Jr.
Publicity & Social Media Chair
Hey y'all, I'm Zorex! As Publicity and Social Media Chair, I create flyers and graphics, send out the weekly newsletters, and manage posts on AIChE's Facebook, Instagram, and Discord! In my free time, you can find me working out at the gym, singing karaoke, or watching K-dramas!

Zachary Yam
Co-Industry Chair
Hi I am Zach! I am Co-Industry Chair for AIChE involved in contacting industry representatives and ensuring that AIChE members are prepared for life outside of college. I like to learn random skills from solving Rubik's cubes to juggling. If you have anymore random skills please tell me about them.

Jeremiah Lim
Co-NChE Chair
Hello! I'm Jeremiah! I am the Co-NChE Chair along with Chichi and together we help plan for and facilitate the Nano and Chemical Engineering events such as the industry career fair. In my free time, I like to play chess, go out on hiking/camping trips, and hang out with friends!

Tommy Le
Assistant Program Manager
Hi, I'm Tommy! I assist Melanie, our Projects Manager, in overseeing the progress of our project groups. My favorite part is being involved in the chemical engineering community here at UCSD and learning more about my possible future career. Outside of school, I enjoy playing volleyball, thrifting, and sewing clothes!

Selene Tang
Assistant Research Coordinator
Hi, I’m Selene! I assist the Research Coordinator in securing lab spaces for each project team, coordinating technical workshops, and supporting the teams in technical aspects.
