Undergraduate Students
Hello! My name is Athena Neeld. I am a biochemistry major and looking forward to pursuing a career in medicinal chemistry. The research I am primarily engaged in is electro-organic synthesis involving hypervalent iodine. In my free time, I love to crochet and read! I am also involved in the Pre-Pharmacy Society.
My name is Nakul Bhakta and my primary research interest is working with pseudo capacitors and polyoxometalates. I chose this research topic because I feel that it has the most significance to me. Some extracurriculars I like to do are to play video games and go to the gym.
