Easley earned her bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering (2017) and her Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Texas A&M University (2022). She was a Klarman Postdoctoral Fellow at Cornell University working on carbon capture and utilization in polymer chemistry. Her group focuses on methodologies for in-situ and electrochemical characterization of polymer solutions. The group is specifically interested in polymers that undergo changes in response to a variety of external stimuli.
Granger earned two bachelor’s degrees in Chemical Engineering and Mathematics from Clarkson University (2016). She received her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from NC State (2023) where she worked on multiscale models to research damage propagation in nanolayered materials. Granger spent the last two years performing a postdoc here at NC State and teaching in the department. She joins the department as an Assistant Teaching Professor. Her career interests center around expanding accessibility to and within engineering education.
Rasor earned his bachelor’s degree in Biology and Microbiology from Miami University, Ohio (2017). He received his Ph.D. in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Northwestern University (2023). His research combines systems and synthetic biology approaches to engineer biocatalysis platforms. The goal is to convert light and CO2 into sustainable chemicals ranging from fuels to pharmaceuticals, harnessing biology to utilize these abundant natural resources while minimizing environmental impacts.
