Tyler Hostetler, Biochemistry and Protein Engineering, tdhostet@ncsu.edu
- I received my B.S. in Biology and a minor in Chemistry from Pennsylvania State University. I am interested in working at the interface between chemistry and biology. More specifically, designing/ modifying enzymes to leverage their catalytic capabilities in our favor, by solving difficult problems within the realm of organic synthesis. During this time, I am also interested in utilizing computational chemistry to help guide a rational design of these enzymes.
Charalambos Michael (Harry), Organic Chemistry, cmichae2@ncsu.edu
- I am from Cyprus and I got my bachelor degree in Chemistry at the University of Cyprus. I speak 3 languages and I love soccer. I am interested in total synthesis/biosynthesis of biologically active natural products and enzymatic mechanisms that are involved in making these molecules.
Alyssa Suhocki, Synthesis and Natural Product, aasuhock@ncsu.edu
- I received my B.S. in Chemistry at Wake Forest University. I enjoy exploring national and state parks and love to read. I am interested in the synthesis of biologically relevant organic molecules.
Sayali Karandikar, Enzyme catalysis and mechanism, sskaran2@ncsu.edu
- I received my Masters degree in Chemistry from Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur. I am interested in identifying new enzymatic transformations and learning about their mechanism.
Shilin Liu, Enzyme engineering, sliu65@ncsu.edu
- I came from China and try to explore mystery of enzyme catalysis using various of tool.

Angela Yao, ayao3@ncsu.edu
- I am currently majoring in Chemistry with intent to double major in Biology. I am interested in learning about enzymatic transformations and organic synthesis. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the piano.
Ruth MeGee, smthom23@ncsu.edu
- I am a senior double majoring in biochemistry and biology. I am interested in working with proteins and introducing mutations to alter their functions. I am a TA for organic chemistry and a member of club swim here at NC State.
