Photo of Jose presenting a research poster. Text reads "Jose’s research focuses on designing visual interfaces for researchers in chemistry. His aim is to improve the usability of scientific tools and to make data easier to explore. By removing the barrier of extensive programming experience, this work gives experimental chemists access to computational tools and insights from big datasets."

Image of Brenda with the Notre Dame and C-CAS logos on a blue background. Text reads "Meet Brenda Nogueira, PhD student at the University of Notre Dame" and "Swipe to learn more about Brenda."

Image of Brenda presenting her research from a podium. Text reads: Brenda uses machine learning to help predict how medicines and materials will work, especially when there isn’t a lot of data. Her research looks at molecules as graphs to improve predictions for drug development and treatment response. 

She focuses on making sure the most important—but often overlooked—parts of the data are not ignored. This helps scientists find better treatments and make discoveries faster.

Image of Brenda in front of the Chicago Theater. Text reads: "Brenda is from Manaus, in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, and she completed her undergraduate studies in Portugal. She loves spending time with her dog, discovering new places and she feels especially connected to the sea and rivers. 

During the week, she likes working out, meeting up with friends, and watching movies with her husband. A fun fact is that she has a twin sister. One of her biggest dreams is to work with local communities in Manaus to help protect the Amazon through sustainable science."

Meet Dr. Gisela González-Montiel, Postdoctoral Fellow at Notre Dame. Headshot of Gisela with C-CAS and Notre Dame logos

Photo of Gisela working at her computer with three monitors. Caption: Gisela specializes in computational chemistry and data science. In C-CAS, her work involves using powerful computer programs to study areas like machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) in chemistry. 

She  works with technologies like ChatGPT and AIMNet2, which help scientists understand how  building blocks of matter interact with each other by  using coding programming languages to model their behavior. By doing this, she makes it possible for the discovery of new tools in scientific research that are faster and more efficient.

Photo of Gisela in front of a palace at night. Caption: Gisela is an adventurer and likes to travel. She enjoys visiting new cities, trying different kinds of food, and learning about other cultures. She especially enjoys sunbathing at beaches as much as walking in big cities like in Chicago. Gisela is also fluent in Spanish, a first-generation college student to pursue a higher degree, and the first science doctorate in her family. Outside of lab, Gisela enjoys reading, puzzles, and biking.

Next week: Wednesday 7 PM @ Sceptre Brewing!

Come with all your questions about how animals think, why your #dogs & #cats do what they do, and science funding.

To all my fellow scientists out there: what teach in can you add to the #StandUpForScience map this summer?

Meet Dr. Emily Wearing, Postdoctoral Fellow at UCLA. Headshot of Emily with C-CAS and UCLA logos

Picture of Emily standing at chemical fume hood. Caption: Emily’s research focuses on how we can use light to transform simple molecules into valuable molecular building blocks. These transformations have potential uses in the construction of more complex molecules like pharmaceuticals or materials.   In C-CAS, Emily uses computational  modeling and  data science, along with experimental studies, to better understand these transformations.

Picture of Emily on a hiking trail. Caption: Emily recently moved back to California from Michigan, where she did her PhD at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Since being in LA, she has been exploring the mountains and beaches and enjoying the sunshine.  Outside of the lab, Emily enjoys hiking, baking, and knitting. She also loves to travel and explore new places.
