Paper Authors
Lizzie Santiago West Virginia University
Anika Pirkey West Virginia University
Anika Pirkey is currently a PhD student and Graduate Research Assistant with the Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at West Virginia University (WVU) with a research focus in computational modeling of intercellular signaling mechanisms involving Cellular Communication Network Factor 4 (CCN4) in melanoma. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BSChE and BME Certificate in 2017 from West Virginia University (WVU).
Mrs. Pirkey also works as a Graduate Research Assistant with the Fundamentals of Engineering Department as a continuation of her undergraduate research focusing on increasing retention rates of non-calculus ready first year engineering students by improving their problem solving and critical thinking skills in mathematics. Some of the six ASEE publications to which she has contributed include "Identifying Deficiencies in Engineering Problem-solving Skills" and "Introducing First Year Engineering Students to Engineering Reasoning" presented at the Annual ASEE Conferences in 2020 and 2017 respectively.
Awards include 1st Place in the Student Poster Session - Individual Researchers Category and 1st Place in the North Central US Region Student Paper Competition, both of which were received at the 2017 ASEE Zone II Conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
