We have open positions for graduate and undergraduate students.

Students will learn the following skills directly from the PI

• Designing molecules using molecular modeling software
• Organic synthesis and characterization techniques
• Quantitative analyses (i.e., binding constant measurements)
• Drafting manuscripts and proposals
• Making cool presentation slides/posters
• 3D printing molecules
• And most importantly, how to be safe in the lab
• Also interested in visualizing molecules in virtual reality (VR)
