Nancy Nguyen

Nancy intends to pursue a major in Biology and a minor in Art History. Her research focuses on the invasive C4 grass, Pennisetum ciliare (Buffelgrass) in San Antonio. Using a GPS unit and ArcMap, she is tracking the invasion of the species as it invades from southern portion of San Antonio and moves to the north. This project is designed to compliment similar work done on the species through the Desert Museum in Tucson (link). She also maintains the “subterranean” greenhouse and the teaching conservatory. Outside of the lab, Nancy enjoys chocolate, tea, reading, drawing, and playing the violin. She is currently on a quest for the perfect bakery. Her music interests include Bach, Josh Groban, and Frank Sinatra.
