Styron is a Biochemistry student at the University of Michigan. His research focuses on conducting coarse-grained computational simulations to analyze multi-domain conformational changes in c-Src kinase protein, comparing wild-type and mutant transition pathways to understand allosteric effects on protein conformational landscapes and developed a quantitative framework to map and identify conformational intermediates that can lead to insights in drug development targeting deregulated Src kinase.  

Styron has presented his research findings at 3+ conferences and symposia. He has received the ACS Outstanding Research Award, the UR Symposium Travel Award, and the UROP Blue Ribbon Award.

Kaiwan Bilal is a dedicated student specializing in Engineering Physics and Quantum Molecular Sciences at the University of Michigan, bringing a strong background in community development through various extracurricular organizations. 

Kaiwan's prior research revolves around quantum materials and computational molecular chemistry. His wet-lab work synthesizing superconductors and polymer vitrimer ink pairs well with his computational experience in interfacing quantum/classical mechanics, multi-site lambda-dynamics, and modeling molecular vibrational spectra, bringing a uniquely hybridized research skillset to labs.

He is particularly versed in community building, incorporating his interdisciplinary education into sustainability projects. During his time at Sharing the Power Foundation, he helped administer their Clean Energy and Environmental Justice Fellowship each summer. Moreover, Kaiwan is experienced in digital communications and marketing, developing numerous publications for Volt Energy Utility and Sharing the Power Foundation.
