I am Rejeena Jha, currently an MS 4th semester student in the Materials Science program at Missouri State University. I plan to graduate in spring 2023 with my master's degree. One of my main interests for research is the use of nanotechnology for medicine, especially biomaterial in drug delivery, therapy, and imaging. I have always been lured toward the application of physics in the field of medicine. That is why, for my MS thesis, I have been preparing hydrophilic chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) following the new approach of nanoparticles made solely based on the ionic gelation process. One phase contains chitosan and polyanion sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) and the other contains diblock copolymer of ethylene oxide and polyglycolic oxide (PEO and PEO PPG). In addition, I taught physics, chemistry, and biology in a high school in Nepal for three years. Currently, I am a graduate teaching assistant in the Department of Physics, Astronomy, and Materials Science at MSU. These experiences have kept my education and passion for the sciences alive and my skills sharp. I also worked on other research and internship projects, in which I obtained working experience with LINAC, MRI, and brachytherapy. Indeed, my background with a solid foundation in physics and my unwavering undergraduate and graduate research experiences lend themselves perfectly to an academic program and a professional path steeped in research.
