Harvard College Class of 2021

Elida Kocharian graduated from Harvard in 2021 with a joint degree in Earth & Planetary Sciences and Environmental Science & Engineering with a secondary field in Global Health & Health Policy. She has been working in the Pearson lab since 2018 and her senior thesis research involves studying the biochemistry of carbon fixation in the 3-HP/4-HB pathway of marine Thaumarchaeota in order to understand autocatalytic metabolic cycles in ancient archaea. When she's not studying or in the lab, you can find her outside admiring trees or onstage playing bass in a funk band.
