•  Congratulations to Baker group graduates, Troy Brier (B.S. Chemistry), and Aleena Andrews (B.S. Chemistry)! Troy will will begin a Ph.D. in Chemistry at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Aleena will begin a Ph.D. in Chemistry University of Maryland, College Park! Good luck!
• Congratulations to Baker group rising seniors Rebecca Goncalves and Mattheus De Souza for both getting accepted to NSF REU programs this summer! Rebecca will be heading to Minnesota to work at the Center for Sustainable Polymers, an NSF Center for Chemical Innovation at the University of Minnesota with Prof. Theresa Reineke on polymer chemistry. Mattheus will be heading to Boston University to work with Prof. David Coker, a theoretical and computational chemist and quantum calculations.
• Congratulations to rising juniors Kristen Vogt, Bryan Bogin, and Maria Fairfield (and welcome to the group everyone!!!). They will all participate in the TCNJ MUSE program this summer in the Baker group, working on projects related to type IV pilins and ionic liquid/membrane interactions!
