Congratulations to Our Outstanding Students!
We are thrilled to celebrate the achievements of five incredible Marshall University students who have been awarded NASA West Virginia Space Grant Undergraduate Fellowships for their research projects! Their hard work and dedication, guided by their faculty mentors, continue to push the boundaries of science and discovery.
- Grace Ghiz (Anthropology) – “Carving Culture: Butchery Practices and Faunal Insights from the Clover Site”. Faculty Mentor: Kimberly Dingess (Biological Sciences)
- Brody Pinson (Biochemistry and Biology) – “Role of Exercise in Adipose Tissue Inflammation in Hypertensive Mice Model”. Faculty Mentor: Ji Bihl (School of Medicine)
- Braden Ross (Biology) – “Potential Role of Insulin Signaling in Diet-Induced Bone Growth”. Faculty Mentor: Dr. Maria Serrat (School of Medicine)
- Soren Tyree (Chemistry/Biology, Double Major) – “Structural Analysis of a Metamorphic Protein KaiB using AlphaFold2”. Faculty Mentor: Yongick Kim (Chemistry)
- Richard Williams (Mathematics) – “Numerical Solutions to the Heat Equations on Time Scales”. Faculty Mentor: Tom Cuchta (Mathematics and Physics)
These students are making waves in their fields, and we can’t wait to see where their research takes them next. Keep reaching for the stars!
