Liam Marcelo McEvoy

I am a senior undergraduate at UC Berkeley majoring in Anthropology, with a minor in Egyptology. Under the guidance of my H2H8 mentor, I explore innovative ways to use mass spectrometry on both ancient and modern materials, reconstructing human history one molecule at a time. My research centers on archaeochemistry, with a particular focus on ancient Egyptian medicinal plants such as the Sacred Blue Lotus. I aim to investigate their pharmacological properties and potential relevance to the modern world. Positioned at the intersection of ancient magic and cutting-edge science, my work draws upon humanity’s past to inspire a brighter future.”
