She received her Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry from the University of Mississippi in 2022 and her M.S. in Medicinal Chemistry from the same institution in 2019. Her research focuses on synthetic medicinal chemistry and natural products, particularly the development of novel fluorinated building blocks and their applications in drug discovery.

Professor Jeffrey A. Nittrouer, Texas Tech University

Professor Jeffrey A. Nittrouer's research focuses on understanding linkages between fluid dynamics, sediment transport processes, and accumulation patterns for fluvial-deltaic and coastal systems. This work aims to evaluate Earth’s surface evolution, focusing on environments where changing boundary conditions, including water discharge and sediment supply, impact flooding hazards and landscape development. Their methods include collecting detailed, targeted measurements from modern systems to inform numerical models.
