Below is a list of recent graduates, with some information on why they chose Bryn Mawr and what they're up to now.

""
Maria Winters, M.A. '11, Ph.D. '14
B.S. King's College
M.A. Bryn Mawr College
Ph.D. Bryn Mawr College
Dissertation: Design and Synthesis of Hydroxylamines as Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase Inhibitors
(Malachowski Group, medicinal chemistry)
Assistant Professor, Delaware Valley University

Why Bryn Mawr? "I got good vibes from Bryn Mawr. It seemed like a place I would like to be. I was very interested in Dr. Malachowski's research and I felt that I connected with the other graduate students almost immediately. It was easy to speak with all the professors that I met and I felt like this was definitely a close, intimate environment that truly fostered learning and research. Plus, I always trust my vibes - they never lead my astray. Well...almost never—unless I'm running in unfamiliar territory. Or I get distracted. Or I find a new trail."

What Maria loves to do besides chemistry: Run marathons.

M.A. Bryn Mawr College
Ph.D. Bryn Mawr College
Dissertation: Enantioselective Conjugate Additions to a Hindered Cyclohexenone System
(Malachowski Group, medicinal chemistry)
Post-doctoral Fellow, University of the Sciences

Why Bryn Mawr? "I chose Bryn Mawr College because it afforded me the opportunity to do high level research in an atmosphere that fosters the process of learning (i.e., you are not ridiculed for not always knowing the answer), emphasizes the importance of teaching, and respects my personal life."

What Sarah loves to do besides chemistry: Travel outside the U.S.
