Doctoral student Alleyne encourages all UD learners to 'get involved'   Article by Adam S....

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) has awarded fellowships to six University of Delaware doctoral students, two students who recently received bachelor’s degrees from UD, and six alumni who earned their undergraduate degrees at UD and are currently enrolled in graduate studies at other institutions. In addition, two students from other institutions plan to matriculate at UD to use their fellowships, and five UD students and six alumni received honorable mention recognition.

We are pleased to continue to introduce you to some of these students. Emily Mongold graduated from UD in May with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering and is enrolling at Stanford University in a doctoral program in structural engineering and geomechanics. Her research will be related to structural resilience and the impact of natural disasters, specifically tsunamis.

We are pleased to continue to introduce you to some of these students. Ariel Hannum graduated from UD in May, with a bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering, and is heading to California to enroll in a doctoral program in bioengineering at Stanford University. She is interested in the application of MRI as a tool to detect and diagnose disease in the human body.

We are pleased to continue to introduce you to some of these students. Brandon Vance, a chemical and biomolecular engineering doctoral student, is focusing on converting polyolefins into gasoline, jet and diesel-ranged fuels, and high-grade lubricants. His primary objective is to develop fundamental knowledge pertaining to the reaction network and catalysts that facilitate those reactions.

We are pleased to continue to introduce you to some of these students. Ana Sheehan is pursuing a doctorate in clinical science in UD’s Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. Her research on personality and individual differences focuses on understanding not only why adults engage in risk-taking behaviors, such as aggression, substance abuse and suicidality, but identifying when they are most at risk for engaging in these behaviors.

We are pleased to continue to introduce you to some of these students. A first-generation college student, Patricia L. Hurley is pursuing her doctorate in civil engineering with a concentration in environmental engineering at UD. She plans to study the fate of macrolide antibiotics in septic tank systems with the goal of finding out if concentrations of these compounds are high enough to threaten nearby groundwater supplies, which may be used as sources of drinking water, and learning if sorption plays a role in attenuation of these compounds.

Hannah Segrave is a Ph.D. candidate in art history at the University of Delaware pursuing the interdisciplinary curatorial track focused on preparation for curatorial careers in specialized art historical fields. In the fall of 2017, Segrave presented at an art history conference in Rome, partly funded by a research travel grant from UD’s Center for Material Culture Studies, and remains in Rome for the research and writing of her dissertation, “Conjuring Genius: Salvator Rosa (1615-1673) and the Dark Arts of Witchcraft.” Segrave is pictured here from Rome, overlooking the church of Santa Caterina da Siena a Magnanapoli and the monument to Vittore Emanuele II (the “Wedding Cake”) in Piazza Venezia.
