Sophia McKillop
MASc - 2026
Sophia completed her MASc after finishing her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and Chemical Engineering at uOttawa. Her research focused on polymer dielectrics and their applications in capacitors and transistors. When she was not in the lab, she enjoyed snowboarding, cosplay, baking desserts, and attending concerts with friends.
