\n\t\tTop chemistry student studied explosives on way to degree<\/i><\/p>\n

KINGSTON, R.I. — May 13, 2005 — Smithfield resident Justin Luongo will graduate from the 溏心vlog免费B站 on May 22 as the top chemistry student in his class. The 21-year-old chose to study chemistry as an alternative to his other primary interest – music. \u201cIt was something completely different to learn and it satisfied my interest in forensic science as well,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n


\nWhile studying chemistry, Luongo became involved in 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Forensic Science Partnership and developed an interest in explosives. \u201cMy involvement with explosives mainly entails the compilation and the instrumental analysis of pre- and post-blast explosive data,\u201d explained Luongo, \u201cand occasionally taking part in organic synthesis reactions, which is a fancy way of saying we made explosives.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cI\u2019ve always been interested in forensic science, but my explosives experience started when Professors Jim Smith and his wife Jimmie Oxley asked that I serve as an undergraduate researcher in their lab,\u201d said Luongo. <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThe 溏心vlog免费B站 chemistry department has professors who will bend over backwards in order to help a student succeed in a subject that at times can be extremely overwhelming. Teachers with a good sense of humor always make a good impression on me,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n


\n\tAfter graduation, Luongo hopes to work for a biotechnology company like Amgen of Pfizer. \u201cI do have the initiative to return to grad school shortly after,\u201d he said. \u201cIf the opportunity arose in graduate school or in my occupation to work with explosives I would gladly take advantage of it.\u201d <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cCollege has taught me to live and make decisions on my own,\u201d said Luongo. \u201cMost of them have been good decisions, but not all. But part of living is making mistakes and learning from them. I\u2019ve learned how to live with other people, and I have made many friends who I am going to miss terribly when I leave. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn some ways college has taught me to make good use of my time because we do get a lot more freedom than in high school. The more you get involved the more you enjoy the four-year stay, but the faster it goes by. This was the quickest four years of my life,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
