Joshua Kiel

Josh is a senior at Brandeis University (class of 2025) from Simsbury, CT, majoring in Biology on a pre-med track. He is the president of the sketch comedy club, Boris’ Kitchen, where he performs skits written by the club’s awesome, very cool writing team. Josh loves to listen to- and talk about- any and all music, and he enjoys playing music too. In his free time, he likes to play games like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, etc.
Josh has a deep interest in archaea. He is fascinated by how little is known about them and how different they are from other domains of life. He has a special interest in the S-layer, which he finds to be beautiful in its paracrystalline arrangement. Archaea research has many potential medical applications, and Josh hopes to maybe further this field.
