Team:RHIT/Current Team

Robert French a.k.a. “Bobby”
Robert and Alex are responsible for the major design of this year’s project. Many of the major finds were done through the combination of their efforts. Robert is a Senior Chemical Engineer with a second major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. He has made a name for himself for being the team member to ask about procedure and process for the project. He is the holder of the coveted title “Best Youtube Video While on Break.”

Ben Deschaine a.k.a. "Big Ben"
Ben is a Senior Biomedical Engineer who acts as our team leader. He’s the first one to speak up for the team and diffuses tension when necessary. He dabbles a little bit in all areas of the project and ties them together. He always has valuable input and constructive criticism. He’s so dedicated to the team that he often chooses to spend his lunch break playing League of Legends in our iGEM headquarters.

Alex Krug a.k.a. “Krug”
Alex is the counterpart to the Synthetic Design team. He is a Senior Biochemist that has done work with Synthetic Biology before. With the help of Robert, they found many of the breakthroughs that made this project possible. He has nearly perfected his technique of analyzing papers and proving their relevance towards the project. Krug is best known for proposing ideas and then having them shot down by Bobby, but we still love him anyways.

Devon Trumbauer a.k.a. “Team Mom”
First off, she puts the team before herself. If no one on the team wants to do something, she will do it to get it done. She is a Senior Biomedical Engineer that dabbles in computer graphics. She is our jack-of-all- trades ranging from being our editor of the wiki to the designer of this year’s logo. She has even been known to bring baked goods to work!

Kristen Schackmann a.k.a. “Kris, she’s a ten”
She is a Junior Biomedical Engineer who nominated herself as the team photographer. She has played a vital role in graphic design on the team and designed the team shirts. She is a master of communication and is always on the front lines when working with the media (we think it’s because of her bubbly personality.)

Adam Nighswander a.k.a. “The NightHawk”
Adam is a Junior Applied Biology/Computational Science major. He is the team’s go to man for coding, creating the MATLAB codon-optimizing program for the team. He is the strong silent type, only speaking when he has a point to make or something hilarious to say.
