Description

William Sikkema ('14) graduated with an honours degree in Chemistry and went on to take his PhD at Rice University. In his time there, he worked with graphene-based biological interfaces and developed a material that was capable of restoring electrical activity to a severed spinal cord within 24 hours, bringing back 90% functionality within 2 weeks. William is passionate about his field and finds that one of the most incredible aspects of his study is the way it has provided him a unique window into the complexity, wonder, and beauty of God’s creation.
