Taylor Colburn graduated in Spring 2018 and he is a Visiting Researcher in CBP for 2019. He has a particular interest in applying mathematical methods and paradigms from physics to complex biological systems.

Ian is a Postdoctoral Research Scholar working on sustainable and expandable software for the analysis of molecular simulations. He graduated with a PhD in Physics from ASU in 2022. He worked on quantitative simulations of transporter proteins and methods and protocols to accurately calculate solvation energies of small and drug-like molecules.

Ben earned undergraduate degrees at ASU in Film Production and Physics. Ben completed his masters project in the Nanoscience PSM program and graduated in 2014. His project dealt with the behavior of carbon nanotube forests, their interaction with nanoparticles, and their mechanical and electrical properties. He is starting a PhD in Physics at Lund University in the Department of Particle Physics and the new European Spallation Source.
