STEMLA '27

Major: Chemistry

Interests: In my junior year of high school, I conducted research in a pharmacology lab focused on drug discovery. That experience sparked a lasting interest in pharmaceuticals and protein interactions, setting me on the path towards a PhD. The following summers, I developed foundational biochemical techniques and broadened my research interests through formative internships studying renal physiology. These internships further sparked an interest in protein mechanisms and the possibility of how physiological context shapes drug response. My senior thesis, in computational biochemistry, introduced me to the power of computational modeling for understanding biological systems at a mechanistic level. Looking ahead, I hope to build foundational skills in pharmacology, physiology, and computational biochemistry and biophysics, while exploring multiple research pathways, including proteins and other macromolecules. Outside of research, you can catch me reading literature focusing on Italian frescoes and Greek vases.

Research: Plummer Lab. We aim to utilize molecular dynamic simulations to investigate the transmembrane domain dynamics of a representative lipid transporter in E.coli.

STEMLA '27

Major: Neuroscience 

Interests: I hope to pursue a career in medicine, more specifically in the field of pediatrics. However, I am open to exploring many diverse topics at Bryn Mawr, such as neuroscience, health studies, and art history.
