<span style="display'''Phone: inline-block" class="details"><span class="ng-scope">As a graduate student, Ann worked in the Public Policy Research Center at Boise State, conducting research on the policy implications of nanotechnology. As an undergraduate '''(also at Boise State208), she did research with the Nanoscale Materials and Device Group, investigating how to use DNA as a programmable material for disease diagnosis and engineering applications. As part of her graduate studies, in addition to working on policy426-related research with her advisor, Dr. Eric Lindquist, she took several policy courses as substitutes to more traditional Materials electives.</span></span>5982
