Bio

Cameron graduated from UC Davis in June 2025 with a B.S. in Space Biology with Emphasis on Human Physiology. In order to pursue his strong interests in both biological and space sciences, Cameron designed this major curriculum with an in-depth study of human biology as well as courses in astrophysics, planetary sciences, and aerospace engineering. Cameron aims to use this interdisciplinary education to study and develop countermeasures to the effects of spaceflight on the human body.

As a member of the HRVIP lab, Cameron uses his background in the biological sciences to support the CHANGES (Capturing Human Adaptations in Novel Gravitational Environments in Space) project, Space Ambulance project, and the REPAS (Robotically Enabled Precision Agriculture for Space) project. Cameron plans to continue his research at HRVIP through his gap year before pursuing a Masters degree. 

In his free time, Cameron enjoys spending time outdoors, reading, running, and playing guitar.
