Niraj Mehta
MBA, expected graduation 2027
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsPlants provide some of the most important drugs in current clinical use. It can be challenging to chemically synthesize these drugs or sustainably source them from producer plants. These issues could be alleviated if their biosynthetic genes are engineered into heterologous organisms for large-scale production. I am interested in a) understanding how plants produce these valuable drugs and b) engineering the sustainable production of these drugs into other plants for large-scale production.

Maria Jose Melendrez
Ph.D. Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2024
BioMaria Jose (she/her/they) is a second-year doctoral student whose research focuses on access and equity for first-generation, immigrant, and disabled students, particularly those navigating intersecting identities. Grounded in her training in sociology, her work examines how institutional contexts, student agency, and social networks shape students’ educational experiences, pathways, and opportunities for meaningful learning.
Prior to her doctoral studies, Maria Jose worked with students, families, faculty, and administrators across student affairs and academic affairs. In these roles, she translated her classroom learning and research commitments into practice by supporting students as they navigated institutional systems and pursued their educational goals.
As a doctoral student, Maria Jose examines how meritocratic narratives shape institutional understandings of access, equity, and student success. Their work also explores the social construction of disability, with particular attention to burn-survivor students’ experiences of visibility, embodiment, belonging, and access in educational spaces. -
