Dr. Shambhavi Tannir grew up in India where she got her BS in chemistry, zoology, and biotechnology and an MS in chemistry. She went on to get her Ph.D. at the University of Wyoming in 2019 where her research focussed on chiral nano-materials, such as quantum dots, and chiral supramolecular assemblies. \u00a0She followed this up with a postdoctoral appointment under Prof. Edward Clennan where she synthesized and computationally studied chiral organic LED materials. She is currently a postdoctoral associate in the Jeffries-EL group. Her work is focused on the design of pi-conjugated materials and their devices. In her free time, Shama enjoys traveling, concerts, cooking, learning languages and getting together with friends.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chris grew up in Fort Walton Beach, FL, and graduated from the University of West Florida with B.S in chemistry and biochemistry.\u00a0 During his undergraduate studies, he conducted research in the area of electrophilic cyclization for pharmaceutical applications. Chris currently pursuing his doctoral degree in organic chemistry at Boston University with a research emphasis on pi-conjugated materials. In his free time, you can find Chris eating Chinese food, hanging out with friends, and laughing anywhere he goes. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n De\u2019Zhanae was born in Philadelphia, PA and moved to Pensacola, FL in the 5th grade. She conducted her undergraduate studies at the University of West Florida and received her Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry in 2019 while researching in the area of non-toxic quantum dots for biological applications. She is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry at Boston University with a research emphasis in the development of novel pi-conjugated materials for organic photovoltaic applications. In her free time, Dez enjoy<\/a>s exploring Boston, finding good places to eat, and getting used to the big city lifestyle. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jada grew up in South Carolina and made her way to Virginia for a BS in Materials <\/span>Science at William & Mary. Her undergraduate research focused on materials synthesis and characterization ranging from different fields in biomateria<\/span>ls, quantum physics, and computational chemistry. Jada is now completing her Masters degree in Materials Science and Engineering at Boston University, focusing on fabricating solution processed phosphorescent OLEDs. In her free time, Jada loves baking, finis<\/span>hing puzzles, and teaching fitness classes.<\/span><\/p>\n Samantha grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah and is currently studying Chemistry and Political Science at BU.
