On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrate @roycemoreschool alums who are pursuing their passions in the field of science. Meet three Roycemore graduates who are making their own unique mark in the world of science:
Alice Chudnovsky, Roycemore Class of 2016, graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a B.S. in Mathematics. As an internationally published mathematician, she was recently a collaborator of NASA’s mathematics research group on constructing advanced space communication technologies using the application of her specialty – algebraic topology. Alice has taught and TA’d several university-level courses (ranging from Calculus to Abstract Algebra) and has 5 years of experience conducting National Science Foundation-funded research at top institutions, including Northwestern University and Weizmann Institute of Science. She is passionate about unconventional curriculum design and creating atypical learning environments. Other than research, Alice enjoys mastering new ways to make coffee, seeing (and performing) stand-up comedy, and blending in as a local in new places (she’s been living in a new city every month for the past two years!) Currently, Alice is using her technical expertise as an Associate for Siemens in-house strategy consulting team.
Madeline Daniel graduated from Roycemore in 2020 and is currently a second year at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, OR. She is a biology major and a mathematics minor. She works in a research lab on campus studying the genetics, morphology, and embryology of the nematode C. elegans. Her current research uses indirect immunofluorescence on early-stage C. elegans embryos to understand lysosome-related organelle biogenesis during embryonic development. Additionally, she uses confocal laser scanning microscopy to capture high-resolution images of antibody-stained embryos. Outside of the lab, Madeline also loves the humanities and is currently interested in medical sociology and how society interacts with science. Recently, she was nominated by faculty to be the official student representative for Lewis and Clark’s biology department.
