Tutors for Graduate Students

Ruth Heindel

Ruth is a PhD student in the Earth Sciences Department, working in Professor Ross Virginia's soils lab. She studies current soil processes in the Polar Regions using a wide range of field techniques. In Greenland, she studies wind-driven soil erosion and in Antarctica, phosphorus cycling in the Dry Valleys.

Ruth is a proud Vermonter, and loves spending time hiking, skiing, and running through the New England woods. She earned her BS in Geology-Biology at Brown University, where she also worked as a Writing Fellow. Before coming to Dartmouth as a graduate student, Ruth taught middle and high school science for two years at an independent school in Vermont. Ruth is a cellist in the Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra, and also enjoys cooking, reading, and drawing.

Kelli Hvorecny

Kelli, a PhD student in the Molecular and Cellular Biology Program (MCB), is a member of Professor Dean Madden’s group in the Biochemistry Department. In her current research, she is developing strategies to prevent the harmful effects of the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) in patients with underlying pulmonary conditions (such as cystic fibrosis).

Kelli hails from eastern Pennsylvania, south of "the town Billy Joel sang about," but not north enough to escape the grips of the Philly accent. She bleeds green, having attended Dartmouth for undergrad and returning, after a stint in the Big Apple, for graduate school. When not at her "home address," Vail 408 in the Biochemistry department, she may be found at the pottery studio or lost in the wilderness hiking and trail running. She enjoys reading science, fiction, and science fiction.


Writing Support for International Graduate Students

Are you an International Graduate Student looking for support with a writing project?

During the Winter and Spring terms this year, International Graduate Students may request a one-on-one appointment with Hannah Jung, a Staff Writing Consultant at RWIT.

How to make an appointment?

Your availability for a meeting in the next 5-7 days (last-minute requests will be difficult to fulfill)
Hannah will respond and set up a time to meet, should it be possible. Hannah also has a few pre-scheduled hours at the RWIT center (Berry 183).

Hi Kerry,

The Insight Data Fellows Programs are tuition-free professional Fellowships for students and postdocs looking to transition to careers in data science, health data science, data engineering, or artificial intelligence. Over the last 5 years, we have helped over 750 graduate students and postdocs who are all now data scientists and engineers at over 200 leading data companies across the United States.

A number of alumni from Dartmouth have gone through the program including Nick Bunch (Physics) who is now a data scientist at YouTube.We haven???t had any alumni from Dartmouth recently, and we would love to see more applications from Dartmouth.
