Yuan received her Ph.D. in Applied Chemistry from Nanjing Tech University, China. Her Ph.D. work focused on synthesis and application of rhodamine-based small molecular chemosensors for sensing heavy toxic metal ions. She joined Professor Cliff Stains group as a research associate in 2017, currently, she is working on developing novel near-infrared fluorophore scaffolds as bioimaging reagents for proteins, small molecules, and post-translational modifications.

Macarena González Alférez

Research Associate, The Gunnoe Lab

I obtained my Ph.D. at the University of Seville (Spain) in January 2023. Under the supervision of Dr. Jesús Campos and Prof. Celia Maya, I studied the Reactivity of Polarized Bimetallic Systems. I joined the Gunnoe group in February 2023 and am working on catalytic water oxidation.

Zichen Liu

Research Associate, The Pires Lab

I am Zichen Liu working in the Pires Lab. I got my B.S. in chemistry at Nankai University in Tianjin, China. I got my PhD in chemistry from the Pires lab at the University of Virginia Chemistry department. I am interested in research on chemical biology related to peptides.

Harikrishnan Nambiathan Nambiar

Research Associate, The Personick Lab

My name is Harikrishnan Nambiathan Nambiar (nickname: Hari). I am a second-year Postdoctoral Research Associate at Personick Lab. I joined UVA in January 2024. Under the guidance of Dr. Michelle Personick, I am working on the synthesis of non-platinum group metal nanoparticles using electrodeposition. I received my PhD in Chemistry from the University of Louisville, Kentucky, in 2023 under the guidance of Dr. Frank Zamborini. My PhD dissertation was "Electrodeposition studies of gold nanoparticles and alginate hydrogel films."

Akosua Pomaa Ofosuhene

Research Associate, The Cafiso Lab

My name is Akosua Pomaa Ofosuhene and I am with the Cafiso Lab. I received my PhD from UVA in 2024, and my current research focuses on using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance to study the protein-lipid interactions involved in synaptic vesicle fusion. By investigating these interactions, I hope to contribute to a better understanding of neuronal communication and membrane dynamics.
