Fallon was born and raised in the small town of Orland, California.  She received her B.S. in Chemical Engineering with an emphasis in Biochemical Processes from Oregon State University in 2014.  While at OSU, she worked with Dr. Karl Schilke on modifying polycarbonate surfaces to covalently attach peptides and characterizing the surfaces using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS).  She went on to receive her M.S. in Chemistry from the University of Oregon through the Advanced Materials Analysis and Characterization (AMAC) Program in 2015. Here she worked with Dr. Stephen Golledge in the Surface Analytical Facility where she analyzed various academic and industrial samples using XPS, Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS), and Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES).  In her free time, Fallon enjoys hunting, fishing, and playing softball or basketball. 

Grace (she/her) is from Houston, Texas. Grace received her B.S. in Biotechnology with a minor in Leadership Studies from the University of Houston in 2017. She served the Third Ward community by leading large-scale volunteer events. Grace continues her passion for community service with ASU’s Graduate Partners in STEM Education program. Her research focuses on using cell-scaffold interactions under tensile strain to direct mesenchymal stem cell differentiation. She also enjoys desert gardening and taking photos of her cat.
