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.

Brady Zanella, Chemical Biology and Natural Product, cmichae2@ncsu.edu

•  I received my B.S. and M.S. in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. As someone who was born and raised in Raleigh, it feels good to be back home and a member of the Wolfpack family. I look forward to conducting research in the Chang Lab.

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.
