Chemistry & Biochemistry Alumni Updates

Jaxon George Utah Tech 2023 Graduate

“I’m excited to share that I’ve graduated with my Master’s in Physical Chemistry from Michigan State University! My time at MSU has been instrumental in shaping my career and personal growth. Special thanks to my research advisor for their guidance and support throughout this journey.”

Aron Hall-Terracciano Utah Tech 2019 Graduate

It is with great excitement I am able to announce I have been officially white-coated into the Roseman College of PharmD Class of 2025!

Autumn Wyatt Utah Tech 2019 Graduate

After graduating with a BS in Chemistry and a minor in Mathematics in May 2019, I pursued graduate school. I graduated in May 2022 from Colorado State University with an MS in Chemistry. I specialized in Physical Chemistry and Research in Dr. Amber Krummel’s group. I studied how water effects the vibrational structure and dynamics of room temperature ionic liquids as an application to electrolyte solutions utilizing linear and nonlinear spectroscopic techniques. I also was part of the implementation of 2D IR microscopy. I am passionate about laser instrumentation design and improvement, so I aspire to have a career in the optics community.

I am in the middle of an interview process to become Laser Engineer with KMLabs. It involves building KMs Ti: Staph oscillators from scratch, installing them worldwide, and servicing them. Plus some R&D.

Andrew Arslanian Utah Tech 2017 Graduate

Andrew graduated from Utah Tech in 2017 and then pursued a Doctorate of Philosophy in Chemistry at BYU. He graduated with his PhD from BYU in April 2022. He specializes in Analytical Chemistry with an emphasis in Spectrometry. He accepted a Post-Doctorate Job at Ohio State University where he will continue his work in Spectrometry studying proteins and modifying mass spectrometers. He proudly proclaims starting grad school with 3 kids and finishing with 5.
