The following are among the new faculty members on the Hilltop Campus. Others will be introduced periodically in this space.
Andrew Martin joins the Department of Political Science in Arts & Sciences as assistant professor. He graduated cum laude with high honors in 1994 from the College of William and Mary and earned a doctorate in 1998 from Washington University. His research interests include American politics and methodology.
Jeremy Gibson-Brown joins the Department of Biology in Arts & Sciences as assistant professor. He earned a bachelor of science in 1986 from Leicester University, Leicester, U.K., in biology and psychology, and a doctorate from the University of London in embryology/developmental cell biology. The work in his laboratory focuses on how the basic genetic tool kit has been "tinkered with" over time to generate the diversity of body forms that we see today. By comparing expression and functions of the same developmental genes in different species, he seeks to unravel the history of the evolution of developmental programs in animals. He has received a number of honors and awards for his work, including a Development Traveling Fellowship from the Company of Biologists, Ltd.; in 1998, a grant-in-aid at Columbia-Presbyterian Cancer Center in 1994-95; and a Population Sciences Fellowship from the Rockefeller Foundation in 1992-94.
Sophia E. Hayes joins the Department of Chemistry in Arts & Sciences as assistant professor. She earned a bachelor's degree from the University of California-Berkeley in 1990 and a doctorate from the University of California-Santa Barbara in 1999. Her research interests include the application of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to complex problems in materials science and inorganic chemistry. Hayes also works on the development of optically pumped NMR techniques, coupling laser excitation with NMR and optical detection. These techniques will be applied to low-dimensional semiconductor structures such as quantum wells, clusters, and layered composite materials. Her awards include Sandia National Laboratory Graduate Research Fellow, 1993-1998; Postdoctoral Researcher, UC-Berkeley, and Lawrence Livermore Directorate Postdoctoral Fellow, 1998-2000; Executive Vice Chancellor's International Fellowship, Materials Research Lab, 1998; University of California President's Dissertation Year Fellowship for Physical Science, 1997-1998; James D. Kline Fellowship for International Studies, 1996; and DeWolfe Teaching Award, 1995.
