Anneliese synthesizes polymers with the Meyer Group, designing conjugated, polarizable sequenced oligomers for high capacitance energy storage. Anneliese received her B.S. in chemistry from the University of South Carolina Upstate, with industrial research at Milliken and Company, where she synthesized small molecules as additives to improve various polymers' properties, e.g. toughness or permeability. The goal of my current project is to understand how the sequence of polymer side chains affects the dielectric constant of the polymer.
Brianna utilizes computational methods and data science to optimize organic solar cells. Brianna grew up in New York and received her B.S. in Chemistry from SUNY Binghamton University, where she did research on metal alloy nanoparticles as catalysts for CO 2 reduction. Here at Pitt, she was lured away from nanoparticle research during the COVID-19 lockdown. During her free time she enjoys painting and drawing.
Caroline is working to find oligopeptides and other self-assembled monolayers with piezo activity using piezo-force microscopy (PFM/AFM) and calculations. Caroline grew up in Philadelphia, South Korea, and Virginia and received a B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Virginia. Some of her interests include traveling, strolling around, and reading magical realism literature.
