Holly received a BS in chemical engineering (biochemical engineering emphasis) and a minor in biomedical engineering from Missouri University of Science and Technology in 2020. During this time, she worked to synthesize and characterize novel nanomaterials with biomedical applications under Dr. Manashi Nath. Outside of Missouri S&T, Holly worked on several other research projects. Under Dr. Diane Dalecki at the University of Rochester, she worked to employ high frequency ultrasound to monitor collagen polymerization in tissue engineering scaffolds. Through an internship at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, she developed a method to integrate proteomic and metabolomic data for the identification of biomarkers of severe malarial anemia under Dr. Michal Fried and Dr. Patricia Gonzales Hurtado. During her senior year, she completed a co-op at Bayer Crop Science conducting research in the Seed Production and Innovation group.
Holly is currently pursuing a PhD in biological engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder. She is a member of the Kaar, Randolph, and Schwartz labs. Holly’s research focuses on stabilizing live enveloped viruses during industrial processes including spray drying and lyophilization.
Outside of the lab Holly enjoys running, hiking, and baking.
