Working Group: Meet the Job Seekers
AbstractI, Darryl Angel, am a Ph.D. Candidate at in the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at Yale University.
Prior to attending graduate school, I majored in Environmental Science as well as Geography at the State University of New York at Binghamton, where I was able to take coursework and conduct multidisciplinary research related to chemistry, physics, biology, geology, statistics, and geographic information systems. I began conducting collaborative research early on in my academic career when I joined a First-Year Research Immersion program, conducting materials science-based research with a team of peers. In addition to general research knowledge, I quickly learned a valuable skill- the ability to persevere past unforeseen challenged faced in the lab. Following FRI, I accepted a summer opportunity conducting biogeochemistry research and later transitioned into a collaborating geomicrobiology lab, completing an honors thesis studying novel pathways for bioremediation.
Upon the completion of my undergraduate education, I aimed to translate my research and professional career towards practical applications that facilitate impactful outcomes. Thus, I joined Dr. Jordan Peccia’s Environmental Biotechnology Lab at Yale University. Here I conduct independent projects as well as collaborative efforts aimed at evaluating and mitigating human health exposure to bioaerosols. My doctoral research involves engineering chamber bioaerosol experiments, and culturing, collection (active and passive sampling), and analysis of airborne viruses from controlled chamber and environmental samples.
My experience to date has allowed me to learn a broad range of concepts, methods, and technical instrumentation in addition to universal skills including writing, presenting, communicating, and trouble shooting. Detailed technical skills are located in my CV.
I am happy to discuss collaborative bioaerosol/environmental microbiology postdoctoral or research positions within the government, national or state laboratories and job opportunities among the industrial sector. Willing to relocate.
Anticipated availability: Fall 2024
