Chemical Engineering (UG): Year One Academic Representative

Candidates

Kaiden Lo

STOP SCROLLING! Thanks. Now get ready for this exLOthermic reaction!...😛😝 Hi. I’m KAIDEN LO, and I’m running as YOUR CHEMENG ACADEMIC REP. I like trying new things. I’ve done triathlons, gone backpacking in Taiwan, worked on a grape farm in Japan, and somehow found myself here. Now it’s your turn to try something new too; put a little faith in me and finish reading this manifesto! While ...

Jayden Leong

I have always believed there is a difference between being given a voice and actually having a say. During my time in student leadership, I was frustrated by how easily problems could be ignored for months, only to become urgent when someone was finally held accountable. It made me realise how easily leadership can become reactive: responding when something goes wrong, rather than taking responsibility for making th ...

Ishani Basu

Hi, I’m Ishani!! We’ve barely made it past freshers, and already the pressure is building. Lectures have begun, and the content is piling up. We're all starting to realise just how big the jump from college to university really is. As someone who took a gap year and already experienced first year once, I understand how overwhelming it can get. University demands so much more independent learning, and th ...

Aman Nagra

Tired of seeing things not going to plan? Vote for Aman! Kind, considerate, decisive (handsome, tall ...) are just a few of the words widely used to describe me. But on a serious note, why me for Chem Eng academic rep? Well apart from the fact that I didn't use Claude to write this, I happen to be an excellent communicator who will be able to listen to all of the needs of my fellow peers (no matter how strange) and ...

This candidate did not supply a manifesto.

Aiko Goff

Hi everyone! I’m Aiko, and I’m running to be your Academic Rep. We’ve all experienced the same challenge over the past few weeks; adapting to lectures, problem sheets and general uni life - all while navigating a new city, cooking for ourselves, and making friends. As your representative, I want to bridge the student-faculty gap to make academic life as smooth as possible for everyone. Having previo ...

Alan Wang

Hey guys, I’m Alan and I am running to be one of your first-year academic reps. I grew up in the UK but my parents are from China so I can speak some (broken) Mandarin as well. I would love to talk to as many of you as possible but I’m terrible with names so please bear with me. Being 3 weeks in and already struggling through thermodynamics (maybe it’s just me), it’s clear that the content i ...

Sam Thompson

Hi, I'm Sam. A wise man we all know once said chemical engineers wear many hats, so I think a year rep should too. Academic Hat: Raising workload, deadlines and assessment issues with staff, and making sure your needs are met. Listening Hat: Taking your concerns to the right people and telling you what happens. Anonymous feedback is more than welcome, because not everything is easy to say out loud. Careers Hat: C ...

Harmann Singh Anand

Your Voice. Your Education. Your Representative. Hi everyone! I'm Harmann, a first-year Chemical Engineering student, and I'm standing to be your Academic Representative! We all know Imperial is academically demanding, and adjusting to university comes with challenges. Whether it's keeping up with lectures, managing coursework or understanding difficult concepts, everyone deserves to have their voice heard. If el ...

Nicholas Setioko

Hey guys, I'm Nicholas, and after 16 years of being a student, I'm now running to be your Year 1 Academic Rep. As a academic rep (hopefully), I aim to help contribute to making our ChemEng community supportive and accessible to as many of you as possible by helping to ensure that your concerns and feedback are properly heard by the staff (and vice versa). I'd also love to listen to any concerns or worries you ma ...
