Biography

Class of 2017

Daphne, from Belgium, studied UV-reflective properties of calcium carbonate-based biomaterials, like avian eggshells, to provide insights for development of industrial materials that don’t degrade in sunlight, and building envelopes that reflect incident light, keeping occupants cool and reducing air conditioning expenses.
