Research Summary:
Chemical reactions are usually done in flasks or large tanks which is known as batch chemistry. My current research focuses on flow chemistry which is a more recent method for conducting reactions in microchips or tubing. Flow chemistry enhances the control over reaction parameters leading to efficient mass and heat transfer, less waste production, and safer reactions. I am currently leveraging the insights gained from High-Throughput screening for the continuous flow synthesis of APIs including Aripiprazole.
Why did you choose to attend PULSe:
For me, PULSe has two very enticing advantages. First, it allows us to do four rotations in the first year before committing to a lab. During a rotation, you can make sure that this lab is truly a good fit in terms of environment, lab members, PI mentorship style, and the science. You can never know these things by just talking to the PI or the current students and this, in turn, helps you make an educated choice for your thesis lab. Second, PULSe gives us the opportunity to not teach the first year which gives you a year to adapt and focus more on learning and finding a good lab which makes the process less stressful.
