USMA-West_Point

Salutations

Welcome to the United States Military Academy (USMA)- West Point iGEM Team. Our team is composed primarily of USMA Cadets and Professors with the assistance from the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). Our team is interdisciplinary and collaborative to successful produce our final produce, an Electronic Nose.

Detection through Olfaction!
Students
Name Location Description
CDT Zachary Andersen United States Military Academy Student Leader: Zach is a 1st Class Cadet at USMA in the Chemistry and Life Science Department with a focus in Life Science. While this is his first year on a research team, he hope that his lab experience will be enhanced through classes at the Academy to provide benefit to the team.
CDT Jason Hug United States Military Academy Student Leader: Jason is a 1st Class Cadet at USMA in the Chemistry and Life Science Department with a focus in Life Science. Jason has been a member of this research team for a full year and looks forward to using his knowledge and experience on the project to build and lead the "e-Nose" team of well-rounded individuals.
CDT Alanna Appel United States Military Academy Alanna is a 3rd Class Cadet at USMA in the Behavior and Life Science Department with a pre-Medicine track. She is new to research but looking forward to working on the project and gaining laboratory experience outside of class.
Payton Boylston United States Military Academy Payton is a 3rd Class Cadet at USMA in the Chemistry and Life Science Department. He spent 4 weeks as a USMA Liaison at NRL developing a new sensing system for the eNose Project. For this project he was amazed by the amount of engineering that was required in order to prepare experiments.
Rayonna Gordon North Carolina A&T State University Rayonna is a senior Biomedical Engineering major at North Carolina A&T State University who worked at the Naval Research Laboratory with several cadets. Incorporating biology with engineering is what she aims to do as a career. This project has given her insight and helped develop her skills in combining biology with several different engineering disciplines.
CDT Liz Huuki United States Military Academy Liz is a 3rd Class Cadet at USMA in the Chemistry and Life Science Department. For this project she has been working mainly with the individual plasmids, an aspect which really interests her and has helped her develop technical skills. She is very excited to be able to combine what she is learning in class with actual lab experience.
CDT Kylor Kiesewetter United States Military Academy Kylor is a 1st Class Cadet at USMA in the Chemistry and Life Science Department. Kylor has significant research experience extensively on biomaterials. He hopes to add a unique perspective while providing his leadership capabilities.
CDT Channah Mills United States Military Academy Channah is a 3rd Class Cadet at USMA in the Chemistry and Life Science Department with a focus on chemical engineering. For this project she has been working mainly with the individual plasmids, an aspect which really interests her and has helped her develop technical skills. She is very excited to be able to combine what she is learning in class with actual lab experience.
CDT Matt McDonough United States Military Academy Matt is a 3rd Class Cadet at USMA in the Chemistry and Life Science Department with a focus in Life Science. He spent 4 weeks as a USMA Liaison at NRL developing a new sensing system for the eNose Project. He has worked mainly with the computer-aided design aspect of this project, but is looking forward to working on the biological engineering side it.
Winston Ou University of California, Berkeley Winston is a Junior at the University of California, Berkeley studying Chemical Engineering. He worked at the Naval Research Laboratory with several cadets where he shared his experience with the team. He enjoys the engineering aspect of the project, particularly designing everything and seeing it come to fruition.
CDT James Pruneski United States Military Academy James is a 2nd Class Cadet at USMA in the Mathematical Sciences Department with a focus in Life Science. He spent time last year observing this project, but is looking forward to helping out with it this year.
2LT Dillon Macky Uniformed Service Academy University of the Health Sciences Advisor: 2LT Macky is a recent graduated from USMA in Chemistry and Life Science. He branched in the medical corps where he is currently attending USUHS for a Medical Doctorate.
2LT Ishmael Raheem Virginia Technology University Advisor: 2LT Raheem is a recent graduated from USMA in Chemistry and Life Science. He branched in the medical corps where he is currently attending Virginia Tech for a Medical Doctorate.
