Margaret Williams receives fellowship for Undergraduate Summer Research Program at Princeton

Margaret Williams (Biochemistry ‘14) has been awarded a fellowship to participate in the Undergraduate Summer Research Program in Molecular Biophysics at Princeton University during the summer of 2012.

Williams, who is currently carrying out undergraduate research with Dr. Amy Keirstead, Ph.D., assistant professor, Department of Chemistry and Physics, will be working with Professor Roberto Car, who is using quantum mechanical theory to gain insight into the structure and dynamics of materials, such as electronic transport in molecular devices, reactive dynamics, and electrocatalytic processes.

The program that Williams will be attending is part of the National Science Foundation’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program.
