Meghan Gan graduated from the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) in 2024 with a B.S. in Environmental Science and Management. While at UC Davis, she interned as a lab assistant and conducted research on the element Boron, its pollutive impact on plant growth, and its prevalence in local water and soil. Utilized TDR to test water and soil samples for the presence of Boron and used Laser Diffraction to analyze soil particle size and the infiltration rate of the soil. Contributions include analysis of the concentration of Boron and the quantity of water needed to drain it out of the soil. Research is currently in progress and pending publication. “Live That” is a Chinese Student Association delivering the latest news about campus and club activities, citywide events, schoolwide policies, and new student resources. In the same year, after graduating from UC Davis, she had the honor of becoming a full-time graduate student in the Master of Science in Environmental Analysis (MSEA) program in the Rice University Department of BioSciences. Meghan would like to focus on the environmental sustainability focus area of the MSEA program, and she would like to intern in environmental consulting related to contaminant fate and transport and regulatory support. She also participates in the Rice Chinese Student and Scholar Association (RCSSA) as an editor. Meghan hopes that her graduate studies at Rice will further enhance her professional abilities and lead to internships and job opportunities in the environmental field.
