Pamela Knoll

Pamela Knoll graduated with a PhD in the Department of Chemistry from Florida State University in April 2021. During her studies at FSU, she received several national awards including a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship and a Fulbright Award to conduct research in Granada, Spain with Juan Manuel García-Ruiz. She is also the recipient of a NASA Dissertation Improvement Fellowship to fund her last project in the graduate program, the 2021 Russell Johnson Dissertation Award, 2021 FSU Research and Creativity Award, and 2018 Jyotsna Dalal Graduate Student Award. While in the graduate program Pamela has published 12 papers in scientific peer-reviewed journals and presented at several prestigious conferences (Gordon Research Conferences, the 10^th International Engineering of Chemical Complexity, COST Action Chemobrionics Conference, the 255^th National ACS Meeting). In addition, Pamela has organized the Nonlinear Dynamics in STEM Conference and the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas-University of Granada Young Scientist Seminars and will chair the upcoming 2022 Oscillations and Dynamic Instabilities in Chemical Systems Gordon Research Seminar. As an advocate of introducing science to children at an early age, Pamela has organized scientific demonstration booths each year (2017-2019) at the Big Bend Filipino-American Association Annual Festival and Tallahassee Science Festival which teach scientific principles found in her research to attendees ranging from three-years-old to seniors. As a member of several graduate student organizations, Pamela has organized FSU-based events to promote science to undergraduate women in STEM fields (2018 Women in STEM Seminar Series which was supported by the proposal she wrote for the FSU Presidential Mini-Grant for Diversity) and in the chemistry department (2019 ChemiNoles Undergraduate Research Event).
