Abby Goldman

Biography

Abby joined the Estroff research group in 2013. Her work focuses on Biomineralization-inspired crystal growth. She also is interested in Science communication & policy and STEM Outreach. Abby may be a bit obsessed with Destination Imagination, an international, STEAM-based, creative problem solving competition! She has participated in the program from 6th grade through college. She has even helped start up a program in Central NY, so that others may enjoy the program as well.  In her downtime she loves baking and hiking.
