Robyn Ellen Hannigan is an American academic in the field of science, and an inventor and entrepreneur. She has been the provost of Clarkson University since the summer of 2019.[1]
Hannigan and her colleagues have developed four patents and technologies, including one which resolved an analytical chemistry instrument communication issue, and another which was a medical application technology.[2][3][4]
Early life[]
Hannigan grew up in New Jersey. Her mother was a member of the Narragansett Nation.[5] As a young person, she was an enthusiastic but unsuccessful science student, receiving a D grade in her biology class.[5] Her parents insisted that she attend college, and she obtained a bachelor of science degree in biology from The College of New Jersey, despite being a reluctant student.[5] After working for her local health department after graduation, she found that she wanted to pursue higher education.[5]
She went on to receive master of arts in geology from SUNY Buffalo, and a master of science and Ph.D. in earth and environmental science from the University of Rochester.[6]
Career[]
Hannigan's previous positions include Founding Dean, School for the Environment, University of Massachusetts Boston; Program Officer, Division of Biological Infrastructure, National Science Foundation;[7] Graduate Program Director, Environmental Science Graduate Program, Arkansas State University; Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer, GeoMed Analytical, Boston, Mass.; and Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer, Hyphenated Solutions, State University Arkansas. She has also held faculty appointments as a professor at the University of Massachusetts Boston and Arkansas State University.[8]
Hannigan is the co-inventor of four patents: Peltier-cooled cryogenic laser ablation cell,[9] Detection of a component of interest with an ultraviolet laser and method of using the same,[10] Oral fluid assays for the detection of heavy metal exposure,[11] and Universal transfer apparatus and method to use same.[12]
Awards[]
Hannigan is a Fellow[13] of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2010), a Fellow of the Geological Society of America (2008),[14] a recipient of the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Award for Encouraging Disadvantaged Students into Careers in the Chemical Sciences from the American Chemical Society (2007),[15] and a Fellow of the Aldo Leopold Leadership Program (2001).[16]
