Pagnaa received her B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Drexel University in June of 2022. Her undergraduate research involved molecular dynamics simulations of chiral block copolymers under the advisement of Dr. Joshua Lequieu, and simulating hydrophobic interactions between water molecules and protein chains under the advisement of Dr. Aviel Chaimovich.
Pagnaa joined the Meredith Group in 2024. Her current research involves improving moisture barrier and heat sealing properties of nanocellulosic materials for packaging applications.
In her free time, Pagnaa loves watching TV shows, karaoke nights with friends, and exploring the Atlanta food and arts scene.
