Congrats to Yunhui Ge on getting his newly minted PhD! On April 13, he successfully defended of his thesis, “Using molecular dynamic simulations and statistical models to understand biomolecular conformational dynamics.” Dr. Yunhui Ge will soon be off to sunnier vistas in California to pursue postdoctoral work.
Shahlo presents at the The Symposium for Undergraduate Research and Creativity
On April 13-14, Shahlo Solieva presented her work, “Using Molecular Simulation to Understand the Role of Conserved Residues in an Extremophilic β-galactosidase,” at the Symposium for Undergraduate Research and Creativity. It is a distinct honor to be selected for this University-wide showcase of top undergraduate work.
Due to social distancing, the symposium was held virtually. The upshot: you can see Shahlo’s talk online at https://voicethread.com/share/14064486/
