Heather is a graduate student in the Chemical Biology program at UC Berkeley. She earned her BS in Biochemistry at UC Santa Barbara while working with Dr. Kalju Kahn to benchmark density functional methods for the prediction of gas-phase Vibrational Circular Dichroism spectra. She worked with Dr. David Bernstein on the Consortium for Monitoring, Technology and Verification Integrated University Program (IUP): Enabling Technologies and Innovation (ETI) & Monitoring, Technology and Verification (MTV). Dr. Arkin’s project is data integration to assist field sampling, with final model delivery. Heather and David worked on modeling the field data. They were responsible for collaboration between the groups of University of California, Berkeley, MIT and University of Tennessee/Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
