Revision as of 22:12, 5 October 2019
Sarah Louise Veatch is an American biophysicist. She is an associate professor of biophysics at University of Michigan.
Education
Veatch was raised in Brookline, Massachusetts by a medical doctor mother and her father, William R. Veatch, a membrane biophysicist. Veatch's interest in physics began in high school.[1] She was involved in her high school's gay–straight alliance in the mid-1990s "but struggled with her LGBT identity until college at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where she earned a B.S. in physics in 1998.[1][2] Veatch played rugby at MIT.[2] Her undergraduate thesis was titled VLF magnetic field correlation measurements between LIGO sites. Her thesis supervisor was Rainer Weiss.[3] Veatch worked for a year as an electrical engineer programming lighting consoles used in auditoriums. She completed a Ph.D. at University of Washington in 2004 in physics under advisor Sarah L. Keller. She conducted one year of postdoctoral studies with Robert E. W. Hancock at University of British Columbia where she also worked with Jenifer Thewalt at Simon Fraser University. Veatch completed further postdocoral studies with Barbara A. Baird and David Holowka at Cornell University.[1]
Career
Veatch joined University of Michigan (UM) as an assistant professor of biophysics.[1] As of 2019, Veatch is an associate professor at UM.[4] She attends the Biophysical Society annual meeting every year.[1] Veatch researches the physical properties of lipids and the influence on the plasma membrane function.[5]
Awards and honors
In 2012, Veatch won a Sloan Research Fellowship.[5] Veatch won the 2014 Margaret Oakley Dayhoff Award "for her substantial contributions to the field of membrane physical chemistry as it translates into biological systems."[6]
