Alvin Liu

Alvin_Yiu.jpgBorn and raised in Hong Kong, I moved to New Hampshire when I was 15 for a boarding school. Since then, I have lived mostly on the east coast and spent 5 fantastic years in NYC, my home away from home. I am currently a vitreoretinal fellow at the Wilmer Eye Institute, where I did my ophthalmology residency as well. Food and drinks have always played a big part in my life--- there is no better way to connect with people and to learn about a new culture. I was fortunate enough to have dined at El Bulli and to have met the great Ferran Adria himself shortly before the restaurant closed, and it forever changed my perception of food.

Ericka Oglesby

Ericka_Oglesby.jpgOriginally from a suburb of Washington, D.C., I attended university in Baltimore and have been here ever since. I have the privilege of working with Dr. Harry A. Quigley at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Glaucoma Center of Excellence at Wilmer Eye Institute. Our lab studies various aspects of glaucoma and possible interventions of the disease progression. When I’m away from my bench I enjoy casually running getting passed by other runners while enjoying the beauty of my North Baltimore neighborhood. I regularly take in the burgeoning local arts, music, food and DIY scene. Most importantly, if you have ANY kind of local retail related inquires I have a 40 slide PowerPoint presentation at the ready.
