Tyson is an undergraduate at the University of Michigan. He worked in the group with Zuzanna Cygan in the fall of 2001.

Fern is an undergraduate at Cameron University .  She worked with us in the summer of 2001 on our Research Corporation funded project on germanium chemistry.

Rory is a University of Michigan undergraduate student and an advanced Tae Kwon Do student. He worked during the spring and summer of 2001 on our C-H activation project funded by the Research Corporation.

Ted was an undergraduate majoring in chemical engineering at Michigan.  He joined the research group after taking chemistry 302, the undergraduate course in inorganic chemistry.  Upon graduation in the fall of 1999, he started as a full-time research associate in the lab working on the AFM of dendritic drug delivery agents.  Ted completed research for two full papers on dendrimer imaging by AFM before departing.

He began graduate school at Cal Tech in the fall of 2000 joining the group of Jonas Peters.  Upon obtaining his PhD he joined the group of Dan Nocera at MIT for his post-doctoral fellowship.

Ted is now professor of chemistry at Harvard University.

Gül is a fourth year undergraduate, majoring in chemistry at Boðaziçi University, Ýstanbul. She works with Assoc. Prof. Amitav Sanyal’s research group since 2010. She participated in the Banaszak Holl group for the summer 2012. She works on synthesis and functionalization of dendrimers to be used in targeted drug delivery.

Emilee graduated from  Michigan with degrees in Neuroscience and Spanish. She was part of the Banaszak Holl group for three years, working with Doug Mullen, on the synthesis and characterization of functionalized PAMAM dendrimers as targeted drug delivery agents.  Emilee obtained her M.D. at the Indiana University School of Medicine and is currently a resident in anesthesia at the  University of Utah medical school.

Mark Barash  graduated from UM and the Program in the Environment. He  worked on synthesis and purification of PAMMAM Dendrimer compounds to be used as targeted drug delivery systems with Doug Mullen. In his spare time Mark enjoys jogging, reading and has been involved in the Martial arts for 15 years. He is currently applying to Medical School.

Christina is a first-year student at the University of Michigan, who intends to study Chemistry. She is currently working with the Banaszak Holl group on an organometallics project. Outside of the lab and her classes, she enjoys playing violin or viola and writing poetry.

Jimmy is a first-year student at Michigan studying Biophysics with interests in Science, Technology, and Society and Chinese Language and Culture. He is working on understanding nanoparticles-facilitated gene delivery under Becky Matz. He wishes to pursue graduate work in pharmaceutical science

Matt is going into his third-year at Albion College studying Biology and Chemistry. He is working on synchronizing the cell cycle of COS-7 and 293A cells through serum deprivation and other methods working with Becky Matz. In his spare time, Matt enjoys watching movies, drawing, and playing sports, including college football at Albion. He will be
applying to Medical School in the next year.

Mike worked in the lab during the summer of 1999.  He studied the formation of a new class of germylene.

I am a sophomore at Peking University majoring in Chemistry. I have been quite interested in nano-particles and solid-surface chemistry, working in Prof. Zhu Yuexiang’s group on the synthesis and characterization of nano-carbon-alumina materials. And in my spare time, I really enjoy my table-tennis skills. I am quite looking forward to the 8-week research with Prof. Banaszak-Holl’s group this summer.

Chris worked in the lab during the summer of 1999.  He studied the low-temperature formation of silicon oxide thin films.

Vishal Joshi is a first-year undergraduate at the University of Michigan and is planning to pursue computer engineering. He is studying dendrimer-based drug delivery with Rahul Rattan. Outside of the lab, Vishalis also involved in the Michigan Community Scholars Program and goes to swim at the CCRB.
