Solvei Islam

CBE Undergraduate Student

Solvei is an undergraduate student at Princeton University majoring in Chemical and Biological Engineering on the premedical track. Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the “Steel City”, she joined the lab in her freshman year in 2025. Her previous research has focused on biophysical-based projects across engineering and biology. She conducted independent research on the penetration of Newtonian fluids into non-Newtonian fluids, with applications in biological 3D printing. At Carnegie Mellon University, she studied biophysical modeling of self-assembling microrobotic systems. In the Brangwynne lab, she studies protein aggregates using cell engineering platforms. Outside the lab, she enjoys watching movies with friends, solving Rubik’s cubes, and playing games with her younger brother.
