About Jacob

"The first question many ask is, "Why did you transition from Chemistry to Architecture?" My answer is that chemical synthesis is very similar to building construction. Although vastly different scales are involved, both Chemistry and Architecture require an analytical, and at times creative, approach to achieve an elegantly stable product. However, what I've found most exciting about Architecture is its unique ability to share the designed experience with the public at large."

Stanna Dorn is an aspiring academic from Grayling, MI. She obtained a B.S. in Chemistry and B.A. in Music from Hope College, where she performed organometallic research under the guidance of Prof. Jeffrey Johnson. In 2022, Dr. Dorn received her Ph.D. in Chemistry from Indiana University, working with Prof. Kevin Brown to develop cooperative catalytic methods for alkene functionalization. Currently, Dr. Dorn is an NIH K99/R00 MOSAIC Scholar at Caltech, where she is investigating the synthesis of polycyclic bacterial metabolites under the supervision of Prof. Sarah Reisman.

Students will have the​ ​rare ​opportunity to engage in this hands-on learning experience. Learn about the basic suture kit, types of sutures and basic knots, suture techniques and procedures, and suture removal. Information will also be provided about the Health Professions Scholarship Program.

Dr. Daniel is an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at UCSF's School of Medicine. His academic niche is education on topics of diversity, equity and inclusion. While attending Occidental College as an undergrad (Class of '09), Dr. Daniel took full advantage of the many programs that Oxy has to offer; from playing on the men's rugby team to being a Biochemistry lab assistant. Now, he works clinically at both UCSF Parnassus and ZSFGH.

Dr. Jeremiah Ray completed his undergraduate years at Occidental College, attended Stanford University School of Medicine for medical school, and completed his residency training in Emergency Medicine at the University of Utah School of Medicine. He served as the head team physician, overseeing Intercollegiate athletic sports medicine at UC Davis, in charge of the health and performance of over 700 Division 1 athletes and has also treated multiple US Olympic medalists, and athletes in the NFL, NBA, MLS and MLB.

Dr. Patel was most recently recognized as both a 2022 City of San Diego Woman of Distinction and a 2022 API Leader of Influence by San Diego Business Journal. She is a scientist, elected official, and community leader with professional experience in board governance, education policy, and project management working towards raising the level of local civic engagement. As a second-generation, American-born Indian woman, she also understood early on that success comes primarily from persistence, coupled with dedication and collaboration.
