Meet Our Students

Students with Prof. Prasad.
Introducing the College Ambassadors!

Meet Will and Meghan, the department's undergraduate Ambassadors for the College of Arts and Sciences. College Ambassadors are student volunteers who have been nominated by faculty and staff after demonstrating a commitment to academic excellence and community engagement.

"What I like most about the Department of Chemistry at UB are the resources to get involved in the chemistry community, such as UBChemClub, and the many opportunities to be involved in high-impact research as an undergraduate."

UB’s Department of Chemistry is home to students, staff, and faculty from around the world. We are proud of the extraordinary geographical and cultural diversity within the UB Chemistry Community! The map below highlights home towns of our graduate students, undergraduate majors, postdocs, staff, and faculty.

Graduate Research Highlights

  • November 2018: Nasi Li

    "My research is on the functional characterization of lipids during apoptosis. I am particularly interested in how lipid droplet and its lipid components, such as triacylglycerols, are involved in this process."

  • October 2018: Tiange Bi
    2/7/20

    "My research in Prof. Eva Zurek’s group mainly focuses on predicting the structures of materials at high pressures using the open-source evolutionary algorithm XTALOPT coupled with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. My interests include superconductors, photovoltaic materials, as well as compounds of geologic relevance."

  • September 2018: Anthony Cannella
    2/4/19

    "My research focuses on the synthesis and reactivity of novel organometallic and inorganic compounds with manganese metal centers."

  • August 2018: Soha Algoul
    2/4/19

    "Understanding the self-assembly of surfactants on the surface of single wall carbon nanotubes using an interfacial sensitive technique Sum frequency generation (SFG), by studying the effects of the nanotube’s diameter, surfactant concentration (SDS) and the counterions (Na+, Ca+2)."
