Meet the Students

Quincy Brown
quincy.brown@drexel.edu

Quincy's research is aimed at integrating the "fun" constructs of video games into educational software for K-12 students.



Jorge Capurro
jorge.j.capurro@drexel.edu

Jorge's research interests include Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) and specifically Lab-on-a-Chip.



David Delaine
david.antoine.delaine@drexel.edu

David's research interests are in the area of electrophysics for renewable energy applications.




Manuel Figueroa
manuel.a.figueroa@drexel.edu

Manuel's research interests are in biomedical optics and the therapeutic applications of lasers on the human body. His current research focuses on the biodetection techniques involving surface enhanced Raman Spectroscopy.


Non Gargiktingyok
non.gargiktingyok@drexel.edu

Non is performing research on analog devices that are being used in a Power Grid project which aims to build a reconfigurable power system emulator using an analog/mixed-signal VLSI microchip. Upon graduation, Non intends to teach at the University level in the field of Power Engineering.

Daphney Jean
daphney.carmelle.jean@drexel.edu

Daphney is engaged in Behavioral Brain research, with a concentration on obesity. She is investigating a new area of interest - Serotonin - as it is implicated in the suppression of food intake by obese animals. Specifically, Daphney is researching the cellular changes that occur in a rat's nucleus accumbens in response to an infusion of serotonergic drugs. These results may help to improve our understanding of the cellular mechanisms by which serotonin exerts its action in order to efficiently develop therapeutic treatment for obesity.

Steven Jones
steven.l.jones@drexel.edu

Steven's research aims to understand the role of the cytoskeleton in axon extension and regeneration during different stages of development and in response to injury.



Samuel Laurencin
samuel.james.laurencin@drexel.edu

Samuel's research includes novel biomaterials for the repair and regeneration of connective and nervous tissue. His area of concentration is on the use of hydrogels for articular cartilage repair.


Angel Lucena
angel.luis.lucena@drexel.edu

Angel's research examines the molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for activating microglia following a peripheral inflammatory stimulus.



Rafael Mulero
rafael.mulero@drexel.edu

Rafael's research includes the development of solid state nanopores and nanopore arrays for bio-molecular sensing applications.



Danielle Solomon
dannielle.solomon@drexel.edu

Dannielle is engaged in biomechanics research, specifically computational biomechanics and its use in modeling tissues and scaffolds by finite element analysis.



Yolanda Williams-Bey
yolanda.l.williams-bey@drexel.edu

Yolanda's research is focused on the identification of mechanisms of decreased immune response in the elderly and to discern whether these mechanisms are altered by certain cytokines (proteins that stimulate the immune response) or regulatory systems.



Donald Williamson
donald.shaul.williamson@drexel.edu

Donald's research interests involve developing algorithms that will allow computers to "understand" sound based on its audio signal.
