I am from Saigon, Vietnam and I graduated from Texas Christian University with a B.S. in Chemistry in 2019. My undergraduate research under Dr. Benjamin Sherman focused on tin(IV) oxide-based dye-sensitized solar cells. I joined the Kohler group in 2021 as an inorganic chemistry student. My research projects in the group are currently on photoexcited charge carrier dynamics of cerium oxide, its hybrid system with organic molecules, and its heterojunction with another semiconducting material. 

I am from Kerala, India. I graduated with Integrated B.S.-M.S. from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Thiruvananthapuram, where I worked under Dr. Mahesh Hariharan on photophysical properties of organic chromophore assemblies. I joined the Kohler group in 2021. My current research focuses on excited state dynamics of eumelanin from a top-down perspective.

I'm from Londrina, Brazil and graduated in Chemistry from Londrina State University and completed a Master in Bioinorganic Chemistry from University of Sao Paulo (2020). I'm currently a PhD student at University of Sao Paulo under Dr. Mauricio S. Baptista and joined the Kohler group in 2021 for a collaborative dual degree between OSU and USP. My research focuses on nanoparticles based on melanin analogues, its excited states characterization including singlet oxygen emission.
