Alina is a Ph.D. student specializing in biomedical engineering at the University of British Columbia. Alina’s passion for solving space exploration challenges led to her involvement in developing a process to recycle astronauts’ fecal waste into 3D-printable bioplastics, developing and flying a scientific payload in microgravity, developing an oxygen production process on Mars, and completing a simulated sub-orbital spaceflight in a centrifuge-based flight simulator to help scientists examine the physiological and psychological impacts of g-forces associated with spaceflight. In her talk "The Journey to Space: How a Dream Translates into Research", Alina Kunitskaya shares her dream of becoming an astronaut and the research projects that resulted from her fascination with space exploration.
