Anna Hawes
Professor Hawes has a M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Boston University. Her research
was in synthetic biology. Professor Hawes' teaching philosophy is that discussion
and application help students to learn material for themselves. Each class ends with
a project that applies class material to real-world problems. When not teaching, her
son and her endless to-be-read list keep her busy.
