Dr. Rae Robertson-Anderson received her BS in Physics from Georgetown University in 2003, where she was awarded a Clare Boothe Luce Scholarship to conduct research on transport properties in driven granular matter. She received her PhD in Physics from UCSD in 2007, funded by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Her doctoral work focused on elucidating controversial concepts in polymer physics by pioneering new molecular-level techniques and engineering DNA for use as a model polymer system. Robertson-Anderson completed an NIH postdoctoral fellowship in molecular biology at The Scripps Research Institute. There, she used single-molecule microscopy techniques to map the binding kinetics and pathways of HIV-1 regulatory proteins. Robertson-Anderson joined the Department of Physics and Biophysics at University of San Diego in 2009.
