I am originally from the UK, where I received my PhD in chemistry from Loughborough University and began working on ambient ionization mass spectrometry techniques for biological applications. In 2020 I moved to the US as a postdoctoral fellow at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, before joining the University of Pittsburgh in 2024.

I hold a B.Sc. in Chemistry from K.N. Toosi University of Technology in Tehran, Iran (2015) and an M.Sc. in Chemistry from Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, Illinois (2023). My master's research focused on biochemical production from waste such as Corn stover, and carbon dioxide. I worked on the fermentation process of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria to generate valuable compounds such as formic acid, acetic acid, and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) and the detection and quantification of these products using chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques.

I am from Titusville, PA and attended Allegheny College, majoring in Chemistry with a double minor in Spanish and Astronomy. My undergraduate research focused on inhibitor design and probing of a DEAD-Box protein, DDX-52, which was found to be upregulated in certain cancers.

I am from Wellsburg, West Virginia. I attended Bethany College in Bethany, West Virginia for my undergraduate studies in which I earned a B.S. in Chemistry and a minor in Criminal Justice. My undergraduate research focused on human disease studies, including the testing of a drug treatment for stroke that targeted a particular type of cell death known as ferroptosis.

I am from Media, PA, and Akron, OH. I attend the University of Pittsburgh, where I am pursuing a B.S. in Microbiology with a minor in Chemistry.

I am from State College, PA and am currently pursuing a B.S. in Chemistry here at The University of Pittsburgh along with a German Language Certificate. Previously, I worked at Penn State University performing chemical analysis on wine and exploring the effects of ethanol concentration on internal standard recovery when using SPME Fibers.

I am from Horsham, PA and am currently studying Chemistry at Pitt. Prior to the Rankin-Turner Lab, I conducted research in ophthalmology and NIRS method development for food science applications.

I was raised in Pakistan, where I completed my O Levels and A Levels before returning to the United States in 2024. I am pursuing a B.S. in Chemistry on the pre-med track at the University of Pittsburgh. My interests include exploring the intersection of chemistry and medicine through research
