Nikola Trickovic '20 Recruiting Profile

For the longest time i wanted to be a scientest in the fields of biology, physics and chemistry which i succeeded in doing to some degre trough high school. At college i want to continue in pursuing this dream while still maintaining my waterpolo career and getting to meet new people. Using my knowledge i devised a program for me to follow to increase speed, strenght and agility based on my needs as an indivual. I'm also a team player witch can be seen in my choice of position (the right wing) as i am right handed. My style of play is to set up attacks for my team or dispose of stronger opponents (draing them out by playing the 2m and then swiming out to the right wing). I have also knowledge in playing diffrent positions if it is needed of me.  I am also pretty fast in the water and I am good at fast contra attacks. I've aslo been playing for a long time (12y) which gives me a lot expirience in the water, but i am still lacking in some areas like my shoot acuracy. Also in academics i have worked multiple projects. The first project that i worked on was syntisis of new a ne glycoside and testing it's antibiotic effects on bacteria, but it ultimately failed because i hade problems with synthesising the compounds. The second project was based on creating an amplifier for EM waves which succeeded. Third project was synthesis of hydrogel and electroactive copolymers for the degradation of dyes via super catalytic oxidation and direct current. It failed in the end because i could not find the procedure for the electrosynthesis of the polymer. My final project was in creating an online program where you can put your genotyped genome an then you can search for traits that you have a chance of developing based on your genome. This project was a succees as in it was working but do to tha small server it was limited to a 1000 alils.
