Arianna M. Avellán Jaramillo is a rising fifth year Ph.D. candidate in the department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. Her research focuses on exploring the use of mussel-inspired moieties to enhance contact and retention of polymers on mucosal tissues. During the summer of 2022, she is working on creating in-situ diagnostic tools using advanced optical spectroscopy techniques at Applied Materials. Her interest in engineering and pursuing a higher degree education started when she moved from Ecuador midway through her secondary education and took advantage of the new opportunities offered. This motivated her to pursue a Materials Science and Engineering bachelor’s degree at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) in May 2018. During her years as an undergraduate student, she participated in many research opportunities: the study of biophotonic molecular mechanisms of reflectin proteins that tunably control the wavelength of reflected light at University of California, Santa Barbara, the creation and characterization of self-organized nano-composites with carbon nanotubes, glass fibers, and titania, as well as, the selection and characterization of a 3D printed hydrogel patch for spinal injury and nerve regeneration. In addition, she worked as an Ambassador Coordinator in the office of outreach and recruitment to build a supportive and diverse environment at UMD. During her Ph.D. she has won multiple awards for her participation in several professional groups that focus on the recruitment and retention of latine students in STEM. Finally, she has won prestigious fellowships, like the GEM fellowship, to fund her graduate education.
