BChE Chemical Engineering University of Delaware

Nastassja graduated from the University of Delaware with a Bachelor of Chemical Engineering. Her undergraduate research with Dr. Aditya Kunjapur involved the development of library generation protocols for screening amino acid motifs targeted by native protein-degradation pathways and cell-free biocatalytic cascades for the upcycling of plastic waste monomers to polymer precursors. In addition to her undergraduate studies, she worked as a formulation scientist at ACT Solutions Corp. where she designed topical formulations for enhanced delivery of lipophilic active ingredients and a product line containing phytochemical-based active ingredients. Outside of lab, Nastassja loves reading, STEM outreach, cooking and baking, and photography.
