2010

TAMS has 3 Barry M. Goldwater Scholars for 2010

No university may nominate more than 4 students each year for this prestigious award. This year UNT earned 3 Goldwater Scholarships - and all three just happen to be TAMS students! TAMS is continuing their tradition of putting UNT on the map and ranking among the most elite schools with the number of Goldwater Scholars we produce each year. Congratulations to the following students:

Anupriya Gangal

Anupriya is working in the laboratory of Dr. Jannon Fuchs on oligodendrocytes, which are the myelin-forming glial cells that insulate axons in the central nervous system. Anupria discovered that oligodendrocyte progenitors have a primary cilium, which is a hairline organelle that receives signals for cell proliferation. Anupriya then made observations that allowed her to deduce when and where they had lost that cilium. Anupriya’s discovery has implications for the treatment of demyelinating diseases and will likely result in a journal publication for which she will be named a key author.

Katheryn Shi

Katheryn has worked, in the laboratory of Dr. Angela Wilson, on quantum mechanics that help predict the existence of noble gas compounds. Impressive, indeed, is the primary-investigator status that has positioned Katheryn to model 80+ possible molecules, thus far leading to the discovery of two new noble gas compounds. Katheryn is also developing a cutting-edge method for reducing the time, computer memory, and disk space necessary for modeling molecules. Katheryn, it is worth noting, received an Honorable Mention citation at the 2009 American Chemical Society Meeting-in-Miniature, was one of 40 Intel Finalists, nation-wide, and will be named first author of a manuscript soon to be submitted to the journal Chemical Physics Letters. Katheryn is on her way to becoming a major research scientist in the field of computational chemistry.

Kathy Wang

Kathy has worked in the Molecular Biology laboratory of Dr. Douglas Root, where she has made an important advance, through molecular modeling, toward uncovering the molecular basis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy through computational simulations that will help future scientists better monitor atomic-level structural changes in myosin. Kathy’s discoveries have significant diagnostic implications, foreshadowed by her co-authored an abstract submitted to the 54th Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society (San Francisco). She was also a Siemens Competition Regional Semifinalist and has earned a coveted research internship—at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Higher Education Research Experience and Internship this coming summer.
