In August 2023, student researchers in the Chemistry Department attended the American Chemical Society National Meeting. Six USF undergraduate students presented posters of their research. Check out the Research page for more details.
Isabella Escutia (’25) is a recipient of the Clare Boothe Luce Undergraduate Scholarship. This two-year scholarship supports undergraduate female students in STEM. Izzy is currently conducting research in Professor Herman Nikolayevskiy’s lab. Bravo, Izzy!
Njeri Forester (‘26) and John Guardado (’23) have been recognized as American Chemical Society Scholars. This distinction comes with a $5,000 scholarship in support of tuition and fees. Congratulations to Njeri and John!
Professor Amrita Bhattacharyya has received a one-million-dollar grant from the Department of Energy for her project entitled “Deciphering the Role of Anaerobic Microsites for Hot Spot/Hot Moment Dynamics of Metal Redox Chemistry and Methane Emissions within Riverine Floodplains.” With collaborators from USF (Amalia Kokkinaki), CSU East Bay, and SLAC, Dr. Bhattacharyya and her research students will investigate metal redox processes and methane emissions at terrestrial-aquatic interfaces.
