In 2015 López graduated from San Francisco State
with an undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering. He
now attends San Jose State pursuing his masters in Water
Resources Engineering—an interest that began with his
internship at the Berkeley Lab—and after having just
been awarded the coveted National Science Foundation’s
Graduate Research Fellowship he’s now eyeing a Ph.D.,
as that Fellowship would allow him to become a fully
funded Ph.D. student at any school of his choosing.
Meanwhile, he continues working as a Research Associate
in the Berkeley Lab’s Hydrogeology Department analyzing
permafrost samples from the arctic in order to better
understand climate change.
“I do not for one second forget where I came from
or forget how I got here,” he tells us. “We grow up
believing that we have to abide by these predetermined
boundary conditions imposed by society … It’s a given
that students and youth in this area are subjected to
questionable outcomes, and are not afforded the same
resources and opportunities as other neighboring regions,
but that shouldn’t stop us from having goals; from wanting
to do something.”
Still living in Richmond, López has become a role
model for youth in West County. He’s actively inspiring
others as a mentor for 4th and 5th graders via the Metas
program at Contra Costa College; as one of the lead
organizers of the March for Science in San Francisco;
as the keynote speaker of the 8th Annual Northern
California Summit on Children & Youth at the Richmond
Community Foundation earlier this year…the list goes on
and on.
Despite all he’s achieved thus far, López has big plans
and is really just getting started. To follow his journey to
the the top you can find RobinTheScienceGuy on Twitter
@RichmondLyfe, and visit his website at robindlopez.com
for some informative videos and more, as we’ve barely
scratched the tip of the López iceberg.
