Robert Langer

Pioneer in the field of Biomaterials and one of twelve Institute Professors at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Dr. Robert Langer runs a lab of over 150 researchers -- considered the largest biomedical engineering center in the world. Dr. Langer's life is an inspiration that even if one takes time finding their passion and there are setbacks, it is important never to give up.

Frank Dellaert

I am a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and work in the areas of robotics and computer vision.

Leticia De Marchi

I am a Brazilian geologist in graduate school at Auburn University, and I study craters formed by meteorite impacts.

When I’m not studying craters, I like riding horses, hiking, camping, listen to music and hanging out with my friends and family.

Erika Rojas

Erika Saalau Rojas is a plant pathologist at the University of Massachusetts where she works on ways of managing plant diseases.

Paul Cobine

Paul Cobine is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Auburn University. He teaches General Microbiology. He is a microbiologist and biochemist who uses the microbes that we use for making bread (yeast) in the laboratory to understand the reasons humans get certain diseases. Paul grew up in Australia and moved with his family to the USA in 2002. He has a wife and five children aged 20, 18, 16, 13 and 9 years old and enjoys playing basketball and watching football.

Arun Sethuraman

I am a computer scientist, and a population geneticist – a computational geneticist in short. Simply put, I build computer programs to study the genetics of populations.

Carolina Grandellis

I am a plant biologist, and I study how plants live and survive by doing experiments in the lab. Right now, I am trying to find a cure for a disease that often affects the Citrus trees, which are very important in agriculture.

In my free time, I love to make origami items and I also enjoy traveling a lot and taking Zumba fitness classes after working in the lab. Currently, I am a researcher in plant biology and I work at the Molecular and Biology Institute from Rosario (IBR) in Argentina.

Tim Mitchell

I am a biologist primarily interested in evolutionary ecology and organismal biology, and much of my research occurs out in nature. I like sharing my research with scientists through talks and papers, but also like sharing the research experience with the public (particularly K-12 students). Hence, I spend a fair bit of time in the classroom and bringing students out of the classroom and into the field. I also very much enjoy college-level teaching and mentoring of undergraduates in biology research.
