Lucas, a Colorado native, will graduate from Regis University in September 2016 with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. He can generally be found in the lab where he has done research spanning from protein synthesis with Stacy Chamberlin (a fellow Tar Heel) to analytical analysis of organic cells cells with Lynetta Mier from The Ohio State Univ. He plans on attending graduate school in either the physical or bioanalytical fields, but the Miller Lab is giving him a run for his money in hopes to bring him into the inorganic field. On the rare occasion when he leaves the lab, he enjoys hunting, fishing, and camping with his friends and family along with snowboarding in the winter.
