Bio: Wookie Komosa is a 2023 Colorado All-Academic Team member that is seeking an
interdisciplinary, scientific community to work with. He was born in Missouri but has spent the majority of his life in Colorado. He plans to achieve a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (with a concentration in Aerospace Engineering) and Bio-Chemistry. He hopes to continue into post-graduate degrees via a Master’s in Engineering and an eventual Medical Doctorate. An at-work injury has motivated and necessitated his scholastic career; however, he hopes that his construction, manufacturing, and logistics background will pair well with his degrees.

Wookie’s academic exploration is focused on weaving the differing disciplines of science together, hoping that he can apply knowledge found in one discipline to another in presently unforeseen ways. He hopes to become “the living embodiment of the STEM field,” as he puts it. He is currently excited to work on a project related to current atmospheric conditions, and he hopes to work on the cutting edge of medical adaptation technology someday.
