WSU graduate who vanished from Seattle airport may be with man and his missing 2-year-old daughter

A recent Washington State University graduate who vanished from a Seattle airport more than a month ago may be traveling with a 21-year-old man wanted for failing to return his 2-year-old daughter to the child's mother.

Nadia Erika Cole, 21, disappeared on May 29 after security camera footage showed her leaving the Seattle–Tacoma International Airport at 3:08 p.m., the Fife Police Department said on X .

She was wearing a black North Face jacket, a sage green hoodie, black pants and white sneakers at the time. Authorities said she may have been seen in the area of Fife, a suburb of Tacoma. 

Police in Pullman said they believe Cole may be with Aaron Aung, whose 2-year-old daughter Seraya Aung Harmon was reported missing.

Aaron Breshears with the Pullman Police Department told NBC affiliate KING-TV of Seattle that Cole is in a relationship with Aung and "it’s more than coincidence that she went missing at the same time."

Aung, of Moscow, Idaho, and his daughter were last seen on May 29, the same day Cole vanished, according to authorities. Aung reportedly took Seraya to Montana on a fishing trip and was supposed to return the child to her mother in Pullman on Monday, police said. Aung never showed up for the scheduled custody exchange, according to authorities.

On Wednesday, an arrest warrant was issued for Aung for first-degree custodial interference after police said he violated a Latah County District Court parenting plan.

Cole's family said the circumstances surrounding her disappearance are "entirely out of character for her," KING-TV reported, citing a statement released by a private investigator they hired. On the day she vanished, the family said she left her belongings at an airport gate to use the restroom and was seen leaving the airport with "a distressed expression."

"We are utterly devastated by her disappearance and are fervently praying for her safe return," her parents, Beata and Kirk Cole, said in the statement.

Cole had recently graduated from Washington State University, authorities said. There is a $1,000 reward for information leading to her safe return.

Pullman police said they are working with the Moscow Police Department in Idaho and the FBI in Seraya's disappearance.

Graduate students recognized for outstanding mentorship of undergraduates

Two graduate students in the Department of Chemistry have been recognized for their outstanding mentorship of multiple undergraduates in their respective chemistry research groups.

Priti Kharel, a sixth-year graduate student in the lab of Pinshane Huang, has been awarded the  Gary Schuster Mentoring Scholarship, and Prakriti Das, a fifth-year graduate student in the lab of Scott Silverman, has been awarded the Dr. Sandra Murawski Award for Mentoring Excellence.

The Murawski award in the amount of $1,000 was established by alum Dr. Sandra Murawski (PhD, ’86, Rinehart) who has built a 40-year career in chemistry at P&G and wanted to establish this award to recognize and support excellence in graduate student mentoring.

The Schuster scholarship, also in the amount of $1,000, was established by Dr. De-Kai Loo (PhD, ’87, Beak) and Dr. Jianjian Zhang (PhD, ’89, Schuster) in 2018 in honor of Gary Schuster, professor of chemistry at Illinois from 1975 to 1994. The scholarship recognizes graduate students who demonstrate outstanding mentorship of undergraduate students.

Priti Kharel —  Gary Schuster Mentoring Scholarship

Pinshane Huang, a professor of Materials Science and Engineering, said that Kharel has been an exceptional research mentor to two research undergraduates in her research group, Amanda Loutris and Patrick Carmichael.

Under Kharel’s guidance, Huang said both undergraduate researchers have been highly successful. They are co-authors on a publication in Nano Letters and were selected for the Illinois Scholars Undergraduate Research Program.

“In particular, working with Priti has truly fostered a passion for electron microscopy within Patrick. It has been remarkable to watch his transformation from an excited freshman into the most productive undergraduate researcher ever to work in my group,” Huang said. “Patrick now operates at the level of a second- or third-year graduate student, partly due to his exceptional working relationship with Priti.”

Carmichael, who has been accepted to multiple PhD programs with fellowship offers for the fall said Priti consistently supports and motivates him to excel in all facets of research and urging him to strive for excellence in his academic endeavors.

“Her encouragement not only encompasses producing top-tier research but also extends to applying for personal opportunities such as scholarships, conference presentations, and research programs. Her faith in me has driven my motivations, and as a result my accomplishments, to new heights,” said Carmichael, whose collaboration with Kharel on imaging the stacking arrangement of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) led to results representing a significant paradigm shift and important chemical insight regarding COFs.

“This important chemical insight would not have been possible without the incredible team that Priti and Patrick have forged, and they will be first authors on the manuscript currently in preparation,” Huang said.

Prakriti Das — The Murawski Award

In his nomination, Scott Silverman, professor of chemistry, said Das has successfully mentored three undergraduates, including two who are coauthors along with Das on a recent manuscript, and all three undergraduates are headed to chemistry graduate school.

Silverman said Das began mentoring current junior Chemistry major Michelle Bishka in her freshman year, teaching her all aspects of the lab's experimental work.

“With Prakriti’s guidance, Michelle performed many assays that were integral to defining the scope of our lab’s recent publication in ‘Angewandte Chemie’ on DNA nucleobase N-acylation DNAzymes, which includes both Prakriti and Michelle as coauthors,” Silverman said. “In parallel, Michelle is now leading her own comprehensive research project, in which she seeks new DNAzymes that use small-molecule substrates in such N-acylation reactions. Prakriti’s sustained training and mentorship of Michelle throughout her project has enabled her to contribute to undergraduate research in this way.”

Silverman said Das has also been important in the mentoring of Maria Massa, another junior Chemistry major and co-first author of the lab’s recent “Angewandte Chemie” manuscript. Das assisted Massa in developing the acyl donor activation conditions that are central to the manuscript.

“For both Michelle and Maria, Prakriti was essential to helping each undergraduate prepare their own separate first-author research posters, which the two students presented not only at internal meetings but also at the ACS Midwest/Great Lakes Regional Meeting in St. Louis in October 2023,” Silverman said.

And now, Das is mentoring Esther Chang, a freshman Biochemistry major who is engaging in her first research experience.

“Prakriti Das has been very successful at her undergraduate research mentorship, helping all three of her mentees to research proficiency and thereby supporting their pathways to graduate school, and for these reasons, Prakriti is an outstanding candidate for our department’s award in undergraduate research mentorship,” Silverman said.

Beth Meyerand named Graduate School associate dean

The Graduate School will welcome Beth Meyerand, Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor in the Departments of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering, to the role of associate dean later this month.

Associate deans collaborate with the Dean of the Graduate School to provide institutional leadership for graduate education across campus. Meyerand’s focus areas as associate dean will be academic affairs, including admissions and academic planning, and enhancing faculty mentoring of graduate students along with graduate student mentor and mentee training.

She will also serve on the Graduate School’s leadership team and on the Graduate Faculty Executive Committee. She will begin in the associate dean role on June 28.

Meyerand earned her PhD in biophysics in 1996 from Medical College of Wisconsin. She then spent a year as a research associate and another as a research assistant professor at Dartmouth Medical School. In 1998, Meyerand joined UW–Madison as an assistant professor in the Department of Medical Physics with affiliate appointments in Radiology and Biomedical Engineering. She served as Chair of the Biomedical Engineering department from 2010 to 2016.

Her research in medical imaging explores new technologies and methods to visualize the brain’s structure and function to improve clinical diagnosis and care. Her lab applies functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) methods to locate and understand connectivity in different regions of the brain, with the aim of understanding the underlying causes of epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, brain tumors, and other diseases.

Meyerand brings a successful record of leadership in graduate education at UW–Madison to the associate dean role, including as director of graduate studies in the Departments of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering and as principal investigator and director of T32 training programs. Since 2019, Meyerand has been the faculty director of the Science and Medicine Graduate Research Scholars community , which supports underrepresented graduate students across 38 departments in five schools and colleges. She has previously served on the Graduate Faculty Executive Committee and the faculty committee for the Graduate Engineering Research Scholars community.

Since 2014, Meyerand has been a master trainer for the National Research Mentoring Network, providing training in effective research mentoring strategies and how to establish mentoring programs. She has also served as a facilitator for the Delta Program in the Graduate School’s research mentor learning communities.

Meyerand most recently held the position of Vice Provost for Faculty and Staff Affairs on campus. Her work as Vice Provost includes collaborating with campus leaders and shared governance representatives to clarify existing policies, introduce new initiatives, address faculty and staff concerns, and advise on campus-wide issues as part of the leadership team in the Office of the Provost.
