UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND | COLLEGE PARK, MD COMMENCEMENT DECEMBER2020 20
Welcome Winter Graduates, You did it. Congratulations! Our faculty, staff, alumni, supporters, and your families and friends are immensely proud of your academic and personal accomplishments. A special thanks to those families and friends for supporting your education and the Clark School’s work: They are the critical infrastructure to your and our success. As you know, we at the Clark School practice engineering as a public service: Focusing our talents and energy on innovations for families we may never meet, and communities we may never see, but will benefit from your fearless ideas. Stronger bridges. Safer batteries. Faster diagnostic tests. That’s how our engineers make MPact. We know you will put that goal into practice and are excited to see what you will do. Go Terps! Be TerrapinSTRONG!

GRADUATE STUDENT SPEAKER
Kristina Stephens Ph.D. ’20, Bioengineering
Kristina Stephens is graduating from the Clark School with a doctoral degree in bioengineering. Kristina previously completed her bachelor’s degree at the University of Maine where she double-majored in chemical and biological engineering. She then worked for three years at IBM as a process engineer in microelectronics, before choosing to pursue graduate studies at the University of Maryland. She was awarded the University of Maryland Flagship Fellowship to support her graduate studies. She is a primary or co-author on nine peer reviewed publications and has presented her research at local and national conferences including the American Chemical Society and Biomedical Engineering Society annual meetings. At the Clark School, Kristina joined Professor William Bentley’s research lab, where she studied quorum sensing, a bacterial form of cell-cell communication. Her research focused on co-opting quorum sensing circuits to engineer cell behavior in co-cultures and consortia. She was selected to be a National Institute of Health (NIH) T32 Trainee in Host-Pathogen Interactions. She has been honored by the graduate school as an Outstanding Graduate Research Assistant and was awarded first place prize in the 2020 Clark School of Engineering Dean’s Doctoral Dissertation competition. Kristina has recently started a postdoctoral position in Professor Lee Lynd’s lab at Dartmouth College. She is studying microbial deconstruction of lignocellulose for biofuels production. She is excited to apply skills she gained at the University of Maryland towards the challenge of producing renewable energy.
