We wanted to take a photo representing our time in graduate school. Instead of the classic champagne-spray photo🍾, here we are happily gossiping about thermodynamics and interfacial phenomena.
We did it!! We're PhDs! 👩🎓🎉🤸♀️

Boston considers itself “bike friendly,” but would a friend really leave you out in a big intersection on a busy road without a lane, and so suddenly?? Still figuring out this Cambridge <—>Boston bike commute. The latter portion stands to be improved 😬🚴♀️

Happy to share this end-of-grad-school project, thanks to Nick Ouassil for a fun collab!
We IDed amino acid sequence-based features of proteins that contribute to nanotube binding, toward rational design of protein-nanoparticle complexes & better predicting biofouling outcomes
Tired of coronavirus news? Read about protein coronas instead! Nick and
@RLPlikesscience
developed a machine learning model that predicts protein adsorption to nanoparticles based *only* on protein amino acid sequence! Out in
