2021 CELEBRATION OF EXCELLENCE

FACULTY AWARD WINNERS

Outstanding Research Award The Outstanding Research Award honors faculty who make significant contributions to their profession and have demonstrated excellence in scholarship.

Mehdi Tajvidi, Ph.D. Cellulose nanofibrils are miniscule. You would need 100,000 to cross the width of a single human hair. In the lab of Dr. Mehdi Tajvidi, these tiny structural building units of wood hold tremendous potential. The associate professor of renewable nanomaterials uses cellulose nanofibrils and their composites to invent better packaging and building materials. Pulpwood is a significant byproduct of timber harvest, especially on projects that aim to improve stand growth or reduce disease risk. Traditional market opportunities for wood pulp, however, are limited and Maine is beset with a surplus. Tajvidi’s research aims to turn that challenge into a lucrative opportunity for the industry while addressing other environmental concerns. Cellulose nanofibril additives and alternatives developed in Tajvidi’s lab offer renewable, biodegradable solutions to issues associated with cement, plastic, resin and other nonrenewable products. They also consistently outperform their traditional counterparts and offer health advantages to users—from food packaging with oxygen and grease barrier properties, to particleboard free of formaldehyde, a probable human carcinogen. A drywall alternative he is developing is lighter, fire resistant, and a better insulator than is currently used in construction. Tajvidi’s lab has also developed strong insulation and packaging products made completely from renewable resources. True to UMaine’s land grant mission, Tajvidi explores not only what is possible, but what is practical. His lab is also working to improve the refining process of cellulose nanofibrils to make mass production and commercialization economically feasible and collaborates extensively with the industry in Maine and beyond. Tajvidi’s research has garnered more than $21 million in external funding and been the focus of 64 peer-reviewed papers, two book chapters, and more than 35 conference presentations since he joined UMaine in 2013. He is the inventor of four patents generated from his research. He also advances the work of others as a reviewer for journals and serving on editorial boards, and has served on the National Sciences Foundation’s Materials Engineering and Processing Review Panel. He has advised or co-advised more than 50 graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, many of whom are lead authors on his published papers. At UMaine, he holds an appointment in the School of Forest Resources and cooperating appointments in the Advanced Structures and Composites Center and Forest Bioproducts Research Institute. n

FACULTY AWARD WINNERS

Outstanding Public Service Award The Outstanding Public Service Award honors faculty who make significant contributions to the University of Maine’s mission of service—disseminating university resources into the community.

Amy Engler Booth, M.A., CCC - A, FAAA No matter the miles or pandemic safety measures, Amy Engler Booth strives to provide audiology care to patients who need it most. The staff audiologist and lecturer in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders provides hearing tests and other audiology services to Mainers and underserved communities across the globe. “Amy adapts and understands. With her warmth, sense of humor and her wonderful laugh she connects with people whoever they are,” said Sharon Daley, Director of Island Health and a registered nurse for the Maine Seacoast Mission. Booth supports professionals working with some of the world’s most disadvantaged people through the Global Coalition for Health Hearing. In one collaboration with audiology professionals in South Africa, she helped develop practical solutions for treating hearing health in resource-depleted rural areas. In Maine, Booth boards the vessel Sunbeam for three-day tours to deliver hearing tests and other audiology services to Maine’s islanders. She has conducted similar health outreach with the Penobscot Nation and Wabanaki People, and organizations focused on older adults. She has also served as clinical director for the Healthy Athletes/Healthy Hearing program hosted by Special Olympics Maine for more than 15 years. Booth is the only audiologist at the University of Maine, shouldering sole responsibility for maintaining audiology services at the Madelyn & Albert Conley Speech, Language and Hearing Center where she treats nearly 700 members of the public each year. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Booth developed a novel concept called “Curbside Audiology” to provide clients hearing aid services from the relative isolation of their cars. She also offered extended hours to high-risk patients, so they could receive care when the building was least populated. Booth’s work at the clinic also serves as a springboard for future audiologists and speechlanguage pathologists. There, she connects students with the clinical experiences essential to their education. She also teaches every audiology course offered by UMaine, which is home to the state’s only undergraduate program in her field. Despite having no formal advisory role, Booth’s mentoring is highly sought by aspiring audiologists and students completing a thesis for the Honors College. She also frequently invites students to join her at conferences and brings speakers to campus. This dedication to the next generation of audiology professionals helps address a critical workforce need in Maine’s health system. n

2021 CELEBRATION OF EXCELLENCE

FACULTY AWARD WINNERS

Outstanding Teaching Award The Outstanding Teaching Award honors faculty who demonstrate their commitment to teaching and ability to deliver an excellent undergraduate learning experience.

Lynn Atkins, M.S., CAGS Much like the clay students mold in her Human Anatomy course, Lynn Atkins aims to make a lasting impression on the minds of her students. “A year after my course is over, what will the students remember? What do I want them to remember? I try to build my courses with the lasting message or skill in mind,” Atkins said. The instructor for the School of Biology and Ecology has established a record of success in teaching advanced anatomy, physiology, and biology to undergraduate students. She also mentors a full roster of advisees and coaches students through their capstone projects and theses for the Honors College. Students attested in letters of support for her nomination that her enthusiasm for teaching is unsurpassed. Her scores from anonymous course evaluations are also consistently high, regardless of class size and whether the course is designed for students enrolled in a related major or general education. A lifelong student herself, Atkins continually seeks to deepen her knowledge base, both in her course subjects and the science and art of teaching. Over the past 18 years she has completed 27 courses—the equivalent of the coursework required for a doctoral degree—in her pursuit of developing engaging, memorable life science courses for her students. Atkins goes on to share her thoughtfully-curated expertise with teaching assistants and faculty. She offers regular seminars through the School of Biology and Ecology. Atkins is the Faculty Advisor for Partners for World Health and serves the School of Biology and Ecology as Assessment Coordinator, and the University of Maine as a member of the Remote Laboratory Teaching Task Force and Health Professions Committee. She previously served on her school’s peer, curriculum, and website and public relations committees, as well as on UMaine’s Faculty Senate, a laboratory teaching space committee, and initiatives that aimed to improve first-year student success. Through all these activities, it seems what drives Atkins most is her desire to help students cultivate their personal and intellectual growth. As one undergraduate student, Amber Benway, recalled, “I always would think about Professor Atkins’ words of wisdom, ‘Learning isn’t about cramming as much information in the shortest window, it’s about finding connections, being able to take a deeper look into the materials. But you have to put yourself first, you are the priority, not the grades.’” n

GRADUATE STUDENT AWARD WINNERS

Edith M. Patch Outstanding Ph.D. Student Award The Edith M. Patch Outstanding Ph.D. Award recognizes a Ph.D. student with a distinguished record in areas that Dr. Edith M. Patch, a pioneering entomologist, excelled in during her long and important career at UMaine.

Outstanding Service Award The Outstanding Service Award recognizes a graduate student who has been exceptionally successful in fulfilling UMaine’s service mission to the university, stakeholders, and their field of research.

Michael Wilczek Michael Wilczek came to the University of Maine to investigate how viruses infect our cells and cause disease. With the guidance of his advisor, Melissa Maginnis, associate professor of microbiology, Wilczek works to characterize how JC polyomavirus, which is harmless to most of its human hosts, can cause an incurable, fatal brain disease. His research, which marks a new focus of study at UMaine, uncovered the virus’ ability to hijack numerous pathways and influence many of the hosts’ genes in a specific type of brain cell, targeted by the virus, to eventually produce viral progeny. His findings may ultimately help develop treatments to help prevent or treat infections in immunocompromised patients. Wilczek first-authored a manuscript that was published in a seminal journal in his field, the Journal of Virology, which has also featured his graphic art on its cover. He has three additional papers in preparation, and has presented his research at ten conferences, and authored more than 35 abstracts. He won Best Presentation by a Graduate Student in Biomedical Sciences at the 2018 UMaine Student Research Symposium. When the COVID-19 pandemic upended life at UMaine, Wilczek stepped in to support Maine’s response, testing for SARS-CoV-2 in samples taken from hospital environments and evaluating a novel liquid surface designed to enhance the efficacy of facemasks. Wilczek is also notable for his efforts to mentor burgeoning scientists. As Grant’s Officer for Graduate Student Government, Wilczek was responsible for coaching UMaine’s graduate students as they applied for grants. He organized and led more than 20 review sessions and provided personalized feedback on more than 200 grant applications. He taught the experiential undergraduate course Genome Discovery: From Dirt to DNA for five years, and spearheaded the development of a Phage Enrichment Peer Mentoring Program to help students navigate this rigorous class. Many of his undergraduate student mentees have won awards at UMaine Student Research Symposiums, a testament to his efficacy as a research mentor. In addition to his on-campus activities, Wilczek volunteers as a judge at middle school and high school science fairs. After he graduates with a Ph.D. in Microbiology, Wilczek plans to find a position that will let him help expand Maine’s biotechnology sector. n

GRADUATE STUDENT AWARD WINNERS

Doctoral Student Graduate Research Excellence Award The Doctoral Student Graduate Research Excellence Award recognizes a student who has an exemplary record of research and scholarly activity.

Isaac Shepard Isaac Shepard came to the University of Maine to transform how scientists think about ecological principles in the context of climate change. With the guidance of his advisor Hamish Greig, associate professor of stream ecology, Shepard explores the idea that interactions among species are relatively more important for determining habitat limitations at the fringes of their geographic range—a first in aquatic ecosystems. If proven true, future models designed to predict where species are headed in response to climate change will need to account not only for their interactions with their environments, but also other species. Shepard’s novel hypothesis was published in the leading journal Global Change Biology. He has been first- or co-author on two additional papers —one in the seminal journal Ecology Letters—and has four more in development. He has also served as an expert reviewer for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. After he graduates with a Ph.D. in Ecology and Environmental Sciences, Shepard plans to continue to push our understanding of the dynamics between life and the landscapes it inhabits. n

Master’s Student Graduate Research Excellence Award The Master’s Student Graduate Research Excellence Award recognizes a student who has an exemplary record of research and scholarly activity.

Melissa Macphee Melissa Macphee aims to understand why mental health services are underutilized by law enforcement and how they can be better delivered which, in turn, will help first responders better serve vulnerable populations and communities. The Marine Corps Veteran’s mixed-method investigation of mental health issues and the needs of law enforcement officers was so rigorous that Macphee’s research mentor, Elizabeth Depoy, professor of social work, encouraged her to submit it for publication—rare among social work researchers before receiving a doctorate, let alone a master’s degree. Her manuscript is currently under review in the seminal Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology. Macphee managed this research amid the demands of maintaining a 4.0 and the 900 hours of field experience required by her program. She was so impactful during her field placement with the Veteran’s Affairs Caregivers Program that she was invited to present at the National Caregivers Month Colloquium. After she graduates with a Master’s of Social Work, Macphee plans to pursue a doctorate that focuses on mental health services and a clinical social service provision. n

Norris Charles Clements Graduate Student Award The Norris Charles Clements Graduate Student Award was established to recognize an outstanding graduate student in agricultural sciences, whose research has the potential to significantly shape the future of Maine agriculture.

Tongling Ge Tongling Ge came to the University of Maine to unravel the origins and explore potential control methods of potato blackleg and soft rot. The pathogen behind the diseases, Dickeya dianthicola, has caused catastrophic potato crop failures—resulting in multimillion dollar losses for Maine’s most valuable vegetable industry. With the guidance of her advisor, Jianjun Hao, associate professor of plant pathology in the School of Food and Agriculture and School of Biology and Ecology, Ge has mentored students, led field trials, and assumed responsibility for processing samples to help Maine’s potato farmers monitor for disease. Ge’s forthcoming papers in the journals Plant Disease and Microorganisms represent breakthroughs in understanding of where and how the outbreaks of blackleg and soft rot may have originated. After she graduates with a Ph.D. in Ecology and Environmental Sciences this May, Ge plans to return to China to pursue a career as a plant pathologist. n

Fred Griffee Memorial Award The Fred Griffee Memorial Award recognizes an outstanding graduate student associated with the Maine Agricultural and Forest Experiment Station. Candidates are evaluated by their research ability, character, and scholarship.

Allison Brehm Allison Brehm aims to unravel the mysteries behind why animals do what they do, and how that behavior influences their environment. With the guidance of her advisor Alessio Mortelliti, associate professor of wildlife habitat ecology, Brehm studies the consequences of behavioral variation, or personality, in small mammals. Her research is rapidly advancing her field’s ability to make predictions about the natural world. Brehm has first- or coauthored six papers in top-ranking ecology and animal behavior journals including Ecology Letters and Proceedings of the Royal Society B. She has four additional papers under revision, and two more in development. Brehm has presented at national and international conferences on eight occasions, and received an additional six awards. She has also served as a reviewer for five international peer-reviewed journals and mentored more than 40 undergraduate students. After she graduates with a Ph.D. in Ecology and Environmental Sciences, Brehm plans to pursue a postdoctoral position that lets her continue to indulge her curiosity about the minds of animals and share that interest with students. n

George F. Dow Graduate Scholarship Award The George F. Dow Graduate Scholarship recognizes a graduate student associated with the Maine Agricultural and Forest Experiment Station with outstanding academic and research performance.

SuriyaPrakaash LakshmiBalasubramaniam SuriyaPrakaash LakshmiBalasubramaniam seeks solutions to the plastic food packaging that is polluting our planet and bodies. With his advisor, Denise Skonberg, professor of food science and human nutrition, LakshmiBalasubramaniam is developing a biodegradable, renewable food packaging film made from refined forest products called cellulose nanofibrils. A barrier to adopting these films is that moisture, either from food or the environment, degrades its strength. LakshmiBalasubramaniam evaluates how different compounds from fatty acids to antioxidants affect cellulose nanofibrils and the films he would like to see replace plastic packaging. He also evaluates how the films may extend the shelflife of foods by inhibiting microbial activity or applying antioxidants to slow decay. A paper he first-authored from the research was published in Food Packaging and Shelf Life, and he has two more in development. After he graduates with a Ph.D. in Food and Nutrition Sciences, LakshmiBalasubramaniam plans to establish a food science company that benefits the wellbeing of life on our planet. n

Wenjing Sun Wenjing Sun works to help the environment by developing biodegradable products from renewable resources. With the guidance of her advisor Mehdi Tajvidi, associate professor of renewable nanomaterials, Sun conducts research at the intersection of material science, biology and chemistry to harness the powerful bonding capability of natural fungi to produce environmentally-friendly composites. Her findings advance the design of novel materials for packaging, construction, microfluidics and other biotechnology and nanotechnology applications. Sun’s first peer-reviewed paper established that a hybrid system of cellulose nanomaterials and fungal mycelium can be an effective binder for composite materials. In subsequent papers, Sun delved into the functionality of mycelium surfaces for wood bonding and discovered new methods to enhance or manipulate its hydrophobic properties. She has three additional manuscripts in development and has presented her findings at several scientific conferences. After she graduates with a Ph.D. in Forest Resources, Sun plans to continue seeking new applications for mycelium and wood-derived bioproducts. n
