Current Grad Students in Chemistry

I obtained a B.S degree in Chemistry at Delaware Valley University in May 2019 and my M.A. in Chemistry in Fall 2021. I am a fifth-year graduate student with an interest in organic chemistry. I joined the Melvin research lab in the spring of 2020 and am currently focused on SuFex chemistry and deoxyfluorination using a novel sulfur core containing reagent.

Why Bryn Mawr?

I chose Bryn Mawr because it is small and interactions with teachers and other students are of high quality.

I am a sixth-year graduate student in the Chemistry department who specializes in synthetic organic chemistry. I earned my bachelor's degree in Chemistry from West Chester University in June 2020, and started at Bryn Mawr College the following fall. I later earned my M.A. from Bryn Mawr in the fall of 2022. I work in the Malachowski lab, and my research is currently unfocused. So far, I have worked on the synthesis of phenanthridinone derivatives using a Birch-Heck sequence, hydrogenation of Birch reduction/alkylation derivatives, other enantioselective Heck reactions, and more recently, aza-Wacker cyclization and nickel/iridium catalyzed photoredox. Outside all of that, I spend most of my time listening to audiobooks, playing video games, and making music.

Why Bryn Mawr?

I chose Bryn Mawr because it's a small school, close to home, and the Ph.D program was recommended to me by my previous mentor. I continue to attend this school because I have grown considerably as a researcher and as a person thanks to the atmosphere that has fostered that growth.
