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.

Ruth MeGee,  Biocatalysis and protein engineering, smthom23@ncsu.edu

•  I am interested in working with proteins and alter their functions to realize novel compounds biosynthesis.

Kuo Wang,  Synthesis and reaction mechanism, kwang42@ncsu.edu

• I received  my master degree from Beijing University of Technology. I have a strong passion for organic chemistry. My research focuses on the total synthesis of bioactive natural products and enzymatic reaction mechanisms.
