About Shane Balgobin

What began as an interest in Chemistry as a child, slowly grew into a full-blown passion for chemical engineering. It is this great interest in making an impact in the world by solving medical problems that drove me to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Pennsylvania State University. Committed to my future career, I strive to deliver unique solutions as I build my expertise in process design, manufacturing techniques, and team building.Through my studies, I have gained skills in mathematics by taking specialty labs that have geared me towards polymers and pharmaceuticals. Besides that, I am a Head Mentor for the Pennsylvania State University Orientation Network where I hold interviews for new mentors. As a driven and committed student, I have built a reputation as a problem solver who identifies and mitigates potential issues by futureproofing, analyzing, and integrating the relevant technologies. A fervid explorer, I enjoy networking and learning more about 3D printing as a member of the 3D printing club at the University.
