Joni Hope Julian
graduate student in Biomedical Engineering
For the curious: I am a native of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I
graduated from Chapel Hill High School in 1988, and then attended the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on a Rotary Club
scholarship. While I was here as an undergraduate, I worked in the
Department of Microbiology and Immunology. I received my Bachelor of
Science in Physics in May 1991, having successfully avoided summer school
during my three years. Next I went to Penn State and got a teaching
award in December 1992, and my Master of Science in Physics in August
1993. My Master's thesis is "An Introduction to Scanning Tunneling
Microscopes." I fled the frozen north and returned to Chapel Hill where
I worked (as a high school teacher and a computer consultant) for a year
while selecting a new field of study. I wanted to mix the theory of
physics with the practical, tangible world. So here I am in Biomedical
Engineering! My research project is video teleconferencing for
Telemedicine, and my academic specialty is medical imaging. I also do
some computer support for the campus. In my so-called "free time," I
enjoy running, running after frisbees, working on my car, and the like.
If you don't mind braving my opinions, there's
more about me.
