Hi! I received my BS and MS in Iran and then my PhD from the University of Kentucky, all in mechanical engineering, and then joined Risko's group where I engage in the automation of electrochemistry experiments. I spend my free time with my dog. 

Hi, I am Megan Brown, a graduate student in the Risko Group. I received my Bachelors of Science in Chemistry in the spring of 2022 from Centre College. My research currently focuses on characterizing the chemistry and morphology of polymer-electrolyte interfaces involved in charge transport. Outside of research, I enjoy crocheting, baking bread, and spending time with my pets.

Hello! I am Sahar!  I received my bachelor and master degree in catalyses chemistry from Shahid Beheshti Uiversity, Iran. Currently I am a graduate student at University of Kentucky at Risko's lab. My  areas of work include transition metal chalcogenide catalyses and MD simulation. Aside from my studies and research I enjoy outdoor activities and of course love to spend time with my cat!

Hi! I received a dual degree in chemistry and mathematics from Washington & Jefferson College in Washington, Pennsylvania. I am a researcher, applying concepts from my math degree to chemistry problems, focusing on crystal packing and molecule generation. I love playing guitar, video games and staring at my aquarium!

Hello! I hold a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Chemistry, both with a focus on Analytical Chemistry, from Tai Solarin University of Education, Nigeria, and Western Illinois University, USA, respectively. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Chemistry, specializing in computational studies involving AIMD calculations in the field of energy storage and energy conversion materials. Outside of academics, I am deeply committed to faith-based initiatives, finding fulfillment in inspiring and uplifting others.
