![]() in paleobiology from the Department of Geophysical Sciences at the University of Chicago. in geology from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and her Ph.D. In 2022, Hannah accepted a position as assistant professor in biology at the Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville. She is passionate about broadening student interest in and confidence to participate in STEM fields and is developing ways to teach students how to integrate math and science through modeling. She now studies the mechanisms through which changing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide influence flowering by using molecular, physiological, and mathematical modeling approaches. As an IRACDA fellow, Hannah is working under Professor Joy Ward in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Kansas-Lawrence. During her dissertation, she focused on the mechanisms through which external temperature and day length cues are perceived at the molecular level and integrated at the whole-organism level to influence when plants flower. in forest resources and biology, respectively, from the University of Washington in Seattle. in Botany from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her M.S. In 2022, he took a Scientist (Antibody and Protein Engineering) position at 23andMe. He is passionate about diversification and increasing accessibility of STEM fields through integration of undergraduates in his research. Joanna Slusky on a novel method to block antibiotic efflux pumps through the design of peptide inhibitors to combat antibiotic resistant infections. In the IRACDA program, he is working with Dr. His current research interests merge the two fields of microbiology and protein design and apply them to the study of outer membrane proteins of gram-negative bacteria. His doctoral work involved developing a generalized method for building protein-based switches and sensors that can be modulated by small molecules. in computational biology from the University of Kansas. Program Completed in 2022 Jimmy Budiardjo, PhD At the beginning of 2023, he took an assistant professor of biology position at Baker University in Baldwin, KS. He plans to pursue a career in undergraduate education, hoping to raise students interests in STEM fields and research. There he was evaluating drugs that could potentially be used to treat colon and pancreatic cancer, as well as the studying the mechanisms of how these drugs work. Christian joined the IRACDA program at the University of Kansas where he worked under Professor Dan Dixon in the Department of Molecular Biosciences. His doctoral thesis involved investigating a new function of a critical tumor suppressor protein in the mucus secreting cells of the intestinal tract. in Molecular Biology from the University of Kansas. in Biology from Washburn University before earning his Ph.D. ![]() Program Completed in 2023 Christian Gomez, PhDĬhristian received his B.S. ![]()
