<div><span style="letter-spacing: normal; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">Dr. Alexander obtained a BS in Chemical Engineering from Howard University in 2013, where she investigated DNA-polymer assemblies utilizing Atomic Force
Microscopy under the advisement of Preethi Chandran and Joseph Cannon. She earned her PhD in Macromolecular Science and Engineering as an NSF Graduate Research Fellow at Case Western Reserve University, advised by Prof. LaShanda Korley. She was an Eckert Postdoctoral
Research Fellow at Georgia Institute of Technology in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering with Prof. Saad Bhamla. She started her independent career at Auburn in 2021.</span></div>
