Caravaggio Caniglia – Presidential Scholar
Presidential Scholar Caravaggio Caniglia was born to loving parents Jacqui and Jeremy in Omaha, Nebraska. His mother, in particular, instilled in him the importance of environmentalism from an early age, starting a Roots and Shoots chapter at his elementary school. After enrolling at Columbia University, Caravaggio participated in environmental policy work through the school’s Roosevelt Institute chapter, publishing a piece on ride-sharing emissions in the group’s national journal. Becoming increasingly interested in science research, he majored in chemistry and conducted research in molecular electronics in Professor Latha Venkataraman’s group. Since graduating in 2019, Caravaggio has taken time to ground himself in the issues that motivated him to pursue basic research in the first place, and became a contributor on carbon sequestration to Solutions . He will begin a PhD in chemistry at Stanford University in the fall.
