Bio
Jim Quinn
Amanda Chin is a top flyer. She was the best in her undergraduate and Masters class. She attended my undergraduate Engineering Laboratory, Engineering Writing, and Advance Laboratory classes. Additionally, she subsequently TA'd for the first two. In both roles, she was excellent, on-time, correct, open, inquisitive, responsible, showed leadership, SMART, and sincere. I closely followed her Senior Design (capstone) project, and follow-on career in Prof. Meng's laboratory, in which she again performed top.

It is my pleasure to write recommendation for Dr Amanda Chin. I came to know Amanda when I was a postdoc at Prof Leo Q Wan lab at RPI; NY. Amanda distinguished herself by submitting an exceptionally well research proposal which is pivotal for establishing multicellular chirality, a research vision of Dr Wan's lab. Amanda is highly intelligent and has good analytical skills. Her project on establishing physiologically relevant in vitro 3D left-right (LR) asymmetry platforms demonstrated her ability to form a detailed understanding of the biological chirality, and to analyze the subcellular factors which contribute to the contemporary chiral theories. The main finding of her PhD dissertation has established a novel paradigm biological chirality that gradient of extracellular matrix is an important biophysicochemical cue influencing cell polarity and chirality. Amanda has excellent communication and writing skills. Her published scientific work is both clear and concise, as well as interesting to read. I regularly refer her PNAS paper to my engineering students studying biology as an interdisciplinary research theme topic. At a personal level, Amanda is a well-disciplined, industrious scientist with a pleasant personality. She went well beyond the knowledge requirements in the quantity and quality of her grad project when I worked with her, putting in a lot of extra research and attending lab hours every week. Amanda is unquestionably an exceptional candidate for R&D positions and she would be an extremely positive asset for any biomedical industry.
