Julie Borglin is a 2017 graduate of Clemson University with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and an emphasis in Biomolecular Engineering. As a nuclear engineering intern at Duke Energy, she designed a calculation to model energy change during reactor outages, saving $83,000 in outage time. She also established a valve cross reference list and provided engineering support. As an undergraduate researcher at Clemson, she helped design experiments to express and purify proteins. Borglin has held leadership roles with Autism Speaks U, raising $2,000 for autism research.
