Hi! My name is Brycen, and I am a freshman at Caltech studying chemistry. I am specifically interested in protein biochemistry and how quantum chemistry tools can help us explore protein dynamics and catalysis! I have competed in, coached for, and written for Science Olympiad for six years. I love ALL things proteins (and RNA) (I once crocheted a full bacterial ribosome for fun lol), and you might guess what my favorite event is! In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, playing with my four cats, playing rhythm games, and playing Genshin Impact. I hope you enjoy RSOI!
