Danielle is from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and earned her BS in chemistry in 2010 from the University of Pittsburgh, where she used infrared spectroscopy to understand CO₂ interactions with carbon capture and sequestration materials. In 2016, she earned her PhD in chemistry from Carnegie Mellon. Her PhD thesis focused on developing iridium-based photosensitizers and photocatalysts for solar fuel production in homogeneous systems. Danielle joined the Wu group as a postdoc in February 2017 and is interested in developing photocathodes for DSPECs and molecular hydrogen-evolving catalysts. Outside of chemistry, she enjoys traveling and rooting for the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey team. LinkedIn
