Siyun Yang
My name is Siyun Yang. I am a native of Hangzhou, China. I'm a junior biology major student at Kean University. My research interest is mainly in computational biology and chemistry. I have a brief research experience in plant biology and computational chemistry. The research experience in computational chemistry makes me find my genuine research interest, and I hope I can continue to work in the computational field in the future. I'm currently working in Dr. Kar's research group to gain more experience in computational and molecular modeling. I hope that the research experience in my undergraduate years can help me get into a Master's and a Ph.D. degree in the Chemi- and Bioinformatics area.

Andrea Gallagher
My name is Andrea Gallagher, and I am a New Jersey native. I’m a junior majoring in cellular and molecular biology at Kean University. My research interest is in Molecular and structural biology to learn about computational research and methods of chem- and bioinformatics. I’m working in Dr. Kar’s research group in USEPA awarded project with the title “Protein binding affinity as the driver for studying PFAS mixture toxicity” in Collaboration with Purdue University, Indiana. I plan to pursue a master’s degree in genetic counseling, and I feel that the statistical and computational methods I learn through this research will be extremely helpful to my future as a genetic counselor and researcher.
