Biography

After graduating from the Chemical and Biochemical Engineering program at UMBC in 1997 Dr. Banta went on to earn his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Rutgers University in 2000 and 2002. Following a 2 year postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School, he started his independent faculty career in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Columbia University in 2004. He is now Professor and Vice Chair of the Department. Dr. Banta started his research career as an undergraduate volunteer at UMBC in the Protein Engineering laboratory. This experience ignited his passion for synthetic biology research and he has been working in this general area ever since.

Dr. Banta’s research program has focused on the engineering of proteins and peptides for various applications in areas including biocatalysis, bioelectrocatalysis, biomaterials, gene and drug delivery, biosensing, and bioenergy. His group is also developing new biotechnology platforms for energy harvesting and conversion. He has published about 100 peer-reviewed manuscripts, holds 9 U.S. patents, has given seminars around the country as well as internationally. He has received funding from every major federal funding source and already has two former PhD students with tenure in domestic Chemical Engineering departments. In 2014 he co-founded a startup company, Ironic Chemicals LLC, and the company received 2 Phase I STTR grants from the National Science Foundation.

She received the Undergraduate Award from the American Chemical Society's Division of Environmental Chemistry. 

In her nomination package, Dr. Lee Blaney, Associate Professor wrote: "Bridget Anger was selected due to her outstanding contributions to research efforts involving analysis of antimicrobial activity for environmentally-relevant antibiotics subjected to photochemical treatment processes. To improve bioassay sensitivity, Bridget has performed antimicrobial activity assays for dozens of antibiotics with Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Mycoplasma microti. To date, these data have been included in four presentations and one peer-reviewed journal article. Her work facilitated collection of new information that enabled us to make key advances in antimicrobial activity analysis. She is fully deserving of this prestigious award." 

Bridget will begin her PhD this fall at George Washington University.

Non-Exempt Staff 
Victor Fulda, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC)
A 27-year veteran of UMBC, Victor Fulda is among the most highly respected staff members in the university’s Department of Chemical, Biochemical, and Environmental Engineering. He is regarded as the expert on all issues related to equipment, chemistry, and processes. He never shies away from a challenge while he supports faculty in the department. The labs he serves are essentially running 24 hours a day, seven days per week. He is readily available to troubleshoot and provide support as needed. As President Freeman Hrabowski observes, Victor is a more than a team member, he is also a mentor, colleague, and teacher—and his contributions have been truly exceptional
