Ann Delaney is currently working toward her Masters in Materials Science and Engineering at Boise State University (BSU).
She works in the Public Policy Research Center at BSU, conducting research on the policy implications of nanotechnology. As an undergraduate (also at BSU), she did research with the Nanoscale Materials and Device Group, investigating how to use DNA as a programmable material for disease diagnosis. In addition to working on policy-related research with her advisor, she has also taken several policy courses as substitutes to more traditional Materials electives.
While the department has been supportive of this choice, her background as a Peer Advisor for a summer in the Engineering Advising Office has been handy when navigating the paperwork required for such an interdisciplinary path. With this experience in mind, Ann hopes to work with the College of Innovation and Design to help smooth the path for future students who wish to pursue interdisciplinary courses of study. Ann has also developed a relationship with the BSU MakerLab, housed within the university library. She has trained to use the 3D printers, and has designed and printed custom parts as part of her research. She enjoys the vibrant and collaborative spirit of this community.
While her academic background has largely focused on engineering, Ann's interests outside of class are broad. In her spare time, she plays viola with a local amateur orchestra, and has volunteered with the ACLU of Idaho, organizing events such as speakers for Banned Books Week and participating in social justice events. Ann was Vice President of the Society of Women Engineers campus section for two years, during which time she helped to organize STEM outreach activities and trips to the SWE national conference. Ann also enjoys hiking and skiing in the beautiful Boise foothills, playing with her mother-in-law's dogs, knitting, and reading.
