Shaoni was recognized for her accepted abstracts and presented her research during the ACTS poster sessions. The Blue Ribbon Award honors TL1 trainees with outstanding poster submissions and is awarded to a select group whose work demonstrates excellence in translational science.
Congratulations, Shaoni!

After leaving Clemson, he completed a Ph.D. in Biomathematics (mathematics applied to biology) at North Carolina State University. Following this, he completed a postdoc at the University of California, Irvine in Biomedical Engineering. He is now back in South Carolina as an assistant professor of mathematics, pursuing research related to the development of “digital twins” of the human cardiovascular system, as well as the use of healthcare data with modeling and simulation to build precision medicine platforms.

After earning her degree at Clemson University in 2020, she went on to earn a master’s degree in biomedical sciences from the University of South Carolina’s School of Medicine and is now in her second year of medical school at MUSC in Charleston.

She completed her Ph.D. in Zoology at the University of Florida in 2021 and is working as a contractor with NOAA’s U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS). She is a physical scientist and supports IOOS’s data management and marine life programs.
