Dissertation

• Earn at least 15 credits from the following types of courses: CHM 7980 - Doctoral Dissertation Within three months before defending the dissertation, the student will present a dissertation research seminar to the Department of Chemistry, registering for one credit hour of seminar.

Qualifying Examinations

• Students will be expected to satisfy qualifying (proficiency) requirements (analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and physical chemistry) during the first year by passing exams in four of these five areas. These exams may be waived if the entering student possesses an MS degree in the Chemical Sciences. Satisfaction of this requirement will help ensure that students are adequately prepared for the core courses. If a student does not satisfy the proficiency exam requirements within the first year, the student will be subject to dismissal from the program.

Candidacy Examination

• As part of the degree requirement, all graduate students pursuing a doctoral degree in chemistry must pass a candidacy exam before the sixth semester from the start of their study in the program. The candidacy examination consists of writing and orally defending an original research proposal to the student’s faculty advisory committee. Every doctoral student must demonstrate proficiency in his/her dissertation research area, the ability to independently develop an original research topic, and the ability to communicate these ideas effectively using concise scientific writing and presentation skills. Students are required to take the candidacy exam no later than the end of the fifth semester (excluding summer) from the start of their study in the program. If a student fails to pass the exam at the first attempt, the student must retake and pass the exam before the end of the sixth semester (excluding summer) of their study. Failure to pass the PhD candidacy exam will result in dismissal from the program.

Admission to Candidacy

• The following are required to be admitted to candidacy and enroll in dissertation hours: Completion of all required and formal elective course work, except for seminar credit hours and dissertation hours. Successful completion of the candidacy examination. Successful defense of the written dissertation proposal. The dissertation advisory committee is formed, consisting of approved graduate faculty and graduate faculty scholars. Submittal of an approved program of study.

Dissertation Defense

• The final requirement for the PhD degree is completion of a satisfactory written dissertation of the student's research, along with successful presentation and defense of the dissertation to the advisory committee, including one doctorate-holding non-program faculty member.

Equipment Fee

• Full-time students in the Chemistry PhD program pay a $90 equipment fee each semester that they are enrolled. Part-time students pay $45 per semester.

Independent Learning

• The grounding in scientific research methodology provided by the dissertation requirement is a central focus of the proposed program. Students will conduct research either on site or at the professional laboratories where they work. In either case, a member of the UCF Chemistry Department graduate faculty will act as research adviser and approve the research topic. This research culminates in the writing and presentation of the dissertation. The student will present his/her dissertation for examination by a committee consisting of a minimum of five members including the research adviser. One of the committee members will be from outside the Chemistry department. A majority of the program committee members will hold tenure-earning faculty appointments in the Chemistry Department. The committee has to be approved by the Graduate Coordinator of the Chemistry program and the department Chair. The dissertation must be judged worthy of publication by the dissertation committee and may not be submitted for examination until so deemed. For students performing their dissertation research off campus, the dissertation adviser will visit the student's laboratory, where their research is to be performed, before the research begins and on a regular basis until the work is complete.

Master's Student: Overall, the University of Florida seems to be a great school as far as rankings and attendance rates go. Despite the political turmoil going on in the state of Florida, there seems to be a relatively strong student body of undergraduate students. Graduate students, however, are less cohesive. Likely due to politics, our graduate student union is in jeopardy, and it is so difficult to get the union membership to 60%. In the Department of Sociology, Criminology, and Law, we have a very low union membership status, which is somewhat ironic considering the nature of our disciplines. The demands of balancing an assistantship and academic career are exhausting, and even more so with limited resources (financial, emotional, etc.). The faculty turnover in the dept. is also insane, likely due to the political situation that seems to be driving out all faculty members of color. Lastly, financial support is incredibly limited. All things aside, the education that I am receiving is appropriate. ... Read 1 review

Professor Mona Minkara Department of Bioengineering Northeastern University Abstract

Unlocking the Secrets of Breath and Defense: Surfactant Proteins’ Role in Lung Health and Fighting Disease

In this talk, we explore the impact of Surfactant Proteins B (SP- B) and D (SP-D) on pulmonary function and immune defense, using computational techniques. Our findings highlight the dynamic structural properties of SP-B, essential for breathing. We employed homology modeling based on the crystallized Mini B structure and the saposin family of proteins to develop a computational model of SP-B. Molecular dynamics simulations were then employed on both open and closed states of SP-B in hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments, simulating conditions found within the alveoli. Our research provides insight into SP-B’s conformational stability and interactions under various alveolar conditions, elucidating its adaptation to different environments and enhancing our knowledge of its structure-function relationships and impact on breathing. Additionally, we investigated SP-D’s antiviral mechanisms against Influenza A, revealing how its double mutant variant (Asp325Ala and Arg343Val) exhibits improved antiviral efficacy. We used full-atomistic molecular dynamics simulations with microsecond trajectories to explore the molecular mechanism of these mutations on SP-D’s ability to bind the viral glycan trimannose as a model. This work deepens our understanding of surfactant protein dynamics and suggests new avenues for therapeutic development against pulmonary diseases and viral infections.

Mona Minkara

Dr. Minkara’s research uses a variety of methods from computational chemistry that she has employed throughout her academic career. While pursuing her BA in Chemistry at Wellesley College, Dr. Minkara worked with Dr. Mala Radhankrishnan, where she used computational methods to explore the binding of drugs to HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase. After completing her BA in 2009, Dr. Minkara spent a year conducting research at Wellesley under a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Research Grant. In 2010, she began her graduate studies at the University of Florida supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. Under her co- advisors, Dr. Kenneth M. Merz Jr. and Dr. Erik Deumens, she focused on using molecular dynamics simulations to design a new inhibitor for Helicobacter pylori urease, an enzyme that helps bacteria survive in the stomach, and in 2015, she received her PhD in Chemistry. She then joined Dr. J. Ilja Siepmann’s lab as a post-doc at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Chemical Theory Center. In this role, Dr. Minkara used Monte Carlo simulations to explore the interfacial properties of surfactants, the surface tension of water, and the miscibility gap of supercritical fluids.
