Heidi speaks to students at her alma mater
Heidi travelled back to her alma mater, SUNY Potsdam, to present her work to the chemistry department. She gave a talk titled “Investigating the Localization of Cryoprotectants in Plant Shoot Tips using Coherent Raman Microscopy” to current students. We’re so glad she was able to share her work with her alma mater!
Congratulations to Yayo for passing his candidacy exam!
We are thrilled to report that Yayo successfully passed his candidacy exam and is now considered a PhD Candidate! He is well on the way to receiving his PhD. Now, Yayo will focus on collecting more data and publishing literature on the work he has done so far. His next big hurdle will be presenting …

Chris speaks at Gordon Conference
Chris’s submission to the Water and Aqueous Solutions Gordon Research Conference was selected for a research seminar! He presented a talk titled “Impact of Shape on Nanoconfined Water.” Congrats Chris, we’re so glad you got to share your work with a large audience!
Heidi presents at CRYO2022
Heidi travelled to Dublin this summer to present her talk “A multi-modal analysis of Mentha x piperita shoot tip response to cryoprotective agents” at the Cryobiology conference CRYO2022. She did a great job! Thanks for sharing our work with the community!
Fionna gives virtual talk at CRYO 2022
Fionna gave a virtual talk at the Cryobiology conference, CRYO2022, titled “Visualizing PVS2 component permeation into Oryza sativa callus cells by coherent Raman scattering microscopy.” She did not travel to Dublin with Heidi because she was in New York writing for Scientific American.
Congratulations Dr. Miller!
Sam successfully defended her PhD and received her doctorate! We are incredibly thrilled for her and proud of her work here in the Levinger Lab. Sam will continue in research as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology where she will apply her expertise in NMR to a new system: high …

Paper published!
Sam published her first-author paper “Nanoconfinement Raises the Energy Barrier to Hydrogen Atom Exchange between Water and Glucose” in The Journal of Physical Chemistry B. In this paper, Sam discusses how she was able to determine the energy barrier of hydrogen exchange between glucose and water using reverse micelles and temperature regulated NMR. She found …

Communication Published!
Fionna published a first-author communication titled “Non-Uniform Distribution of Cryoprotecting Agents in Rice Culture Cells Measured by CARS Microscopy” in the journal Plants on March 21, 2021! In the communication, Fionna demonstrates our ability to directly observe deuterated DMSO sequestering within organelles, rather than being uniformly distributed through the cells. This demonstrates that different organelles …

Graduate Student Showcase and VPR 3 min. thesis
Sam and Fionna participated in the 2019 Graduate Student Showcase, presenting their current research to their peers, faculty, and the public. Having impressed the judges with their pitches, both Sam and Fionna were invited to compete with 40+ other graduate students to become Vice President of Research (VPR) fellows. The challenge: condense their research into …
