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.

Former Clemson women’s tennis All-American Julie Coin ’05 (mathematics) will be inducted into the school’s Ring of Honor this fall. The announcement was made by Ring of Honor Chairman Tim Bourret on July 12, 2023. The Ring of Honor is the highest award presented by the Clemson Athletic Department, as just 20 former student-athletes have earned the honor since its inaugural 1994 class. Coin was inducted into the Clemson Athletic Hall of Fame in 2012 and is just the fifth woman and second women’s tennis player to earn the Ring of Honor distinction. Coin was a three-time All-American (singles 2004, singles and doubles, 2005) for Nancy Harris’s Final Four teams of 2004 and 2005, the only Final Four teams in Clemson women’s athletics history. She was ranked as high as No. 2 in the nation in singles during her senior season. She was a three-time All-ACC selection and the 2004 ACC Player of the Year. During her career, Clemson had a 67-19 overall record, including 22-3 in ACC play. Nineteen of the 67 wins came against top-25 competition. Coin turned professional in 2005 and retired in 2016. Her most famous accomplishment as a professional took place at the 2008 US Open when, as the #188 ranked player in the world, she defeated #1 ranked Ana Ivanovic. She ranked has high as No. 49 in the world in doubles and participated in all four Grand Slam events. Academically, Coin graduated with a degree in mathematics in just three years and was a three-time member of the ACC Academic Honor Roll, including 2003-04 when she was on the Dean’s List.

Debbie Moss ’95 (mathematical sciences) retired from the US Navy in 2015 and started teaching at San Diego Mesa College (2015) and Southern California Yeshiva High School (2018). Over the past five years, students from her engineering classes at SCY High have consistently placed in the top five in the Texas Instruments TI Codes Contest. This year, despite their school’s small size of 30 total students, her team came in first place. During her 20 years in the Navy, she earned three M.S. degrees (Mathematics, Meteorology and Physical Oceanography, and Hydrographic Science). Now that she is retired, she is pursuing a fourth (M.A. in Prehistoric Archaeology) but having the opportunity to work with the next generation of scientists and engineers is truly one of her greatest experiences.

Lauren McIntyre ’15, M ’17 (mathematics) received NASA’s Space Flight Awareness Trailblazer Award for her contributions to the Medical Extensible Dynamic Probabilistic Risk Assessment Tool.

MEDPRAT is a computational model that simulates astronaut health during space flight, providing quantitative estimates of medical risk and medical resource utilization given a variety of mission profiles. The Trailblazer Award celebrates the exemplary performance and innovation of early career employees within their first seven years. McIntyre is a computational scientist and technical lead for MEDPRAT.
