All brains, no brawn? Not Christian. In addition programming Simphony, BYU's opensource photonic circuits simulator, Christian is an avid runner. He's been running since he was little and despite his preference for Python, he is by far the fastest member of the Camacho Lab.
Recently, he competed in the Boston marathon, finishing in just over 2 hours and 44 minutes! Despite the brutal downpour that day, which made it significantly more difficult for him to run (if you've ever ran long distance in wet socks you might be able to imagine), Christian powered through, beating his personal record by 10 minutes!
