Who we are
Mark is a computer science and biochemistry student at the University of Maryland. He is interested in software development, particularly with respect to application tools for the research sciences and social media. His other interests include data visualization, scientific futurism, extropy, and skeptical inquiry. He will graduate in 2012 and be pursuing a career in software development.
Mandy is a rising junior at the University of Maryland, College Park. She is studying bioengineering with a concentration in drug discovery and delivery. During the school year she works in the Neuromuscular Bioengineering Lab as a researcher and at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center as a bartender. She is the Recruitment Chair for the Society of Bioengineers and an active member of Alpha Omega Epsilon, the engineering sorority. She participates as a Engineering School Ambassador and as a Honors College Ambassador in her spare time, of which she admittedly has very little. When not studying or engaged in academic activities, she plays club field hockey and enjoys napping. Following graduation she will either attend graduate school for biomedical engineering, pursue a career in professional engineering, or earn an MBA and go into industry. She'll be sure to let you know once she figures it out. Cheers.
Adam Grose is in his senior year at Bluefield State College in Bluefield, WV as a Biology major. His aspiration is to attend graduate school in the medical field after graduation in Spring 2012; his interests include microbiology and physiology. He is an automotive enthusiast, enjoys spending time with his family, and likes taking his dog, Cody, for a swim.
