Katerina DeOlivares has been selected for the 2025 US Department of Energy Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) Award. Her winning proposal focuses on fabricating high-strength, functional metamaterials by templating metal oxides onto 3D DNA nanostructures and characterizing their mechanical properties through in situ nanoindentation experiments. The study of these novel materials will be conducted in collaboration with scientists at Brookhaven National Lab.
