Sydney Giles
Undergraduate Institution: West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV
SURO Research: Duncan Laboratory, Physical Chemistry
Sydney measured the spectrum of small nitrogen containing carbocations using infrared laser spectroscopy. She focused on methaniminium, an ion of a neutral species that has been found in the interstellar medium.
Diana Graves
Undergraduate Institution: University of North Georgia, Dahlonega, GA
SURO Research: Popik Laboratory, Organic Chemistry
Diana worked with Masha Sutton in Dr. Popik’s research group studying the organic synthesis of novel photo-reactive compounds. They worked on a synthesis path for caged compounds that will become fluorescent upon stimulation with light in order to measure the amount of drug released during stimulation.
Jasmine Harris
Undergraduate Institution: Valdosta State University, Valdosta, GA
SURO Research: Frossard Laboratory, Analytical Chemistry
Jasmine worked with fellow SURO student Marlyne to measure the surface tension of seawater samples using pendant drop tensiometry and run photochemistry experiments in a solar simulator.
Kaitlin Luedecke
Undergraduate Institution: University of Georgia, Athens, GA
SURO Research: Robinson Laboratory, Inorganic Chemistry
In Kaitlin’s research, she explored the synthesis, molecular structure, and equilibrium dynamics of the 1,3,2-diazaborole-derived carbene-BX3 complex (X=Br, I).
Marlyne Serratos
Undergraduate Institution: Georgia Gwinnett College, Lawrenceville, GA
SURO Research: Frossard Laboratory, Analytical Chemistry
Marlyne worked with fellow SURO student Jasmine to measure the surface tension of seawater samples using pendant drop tensiometry and run photochemistry experiments in a solar simulator.
Rebekah Soliday
Undergraduate Institution: James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA
SURO Research: Douberly and Frossard Laboratories, Physical Chemistry
Rebekah’s research focused on high level geometry and frequency calculations of n-propyl and i-propyl radicals and O2
William White
Undergraduate Institution: Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA
SURO Research: Douberly Laboratory, Physical Chemistry
William’s research consisted of designing and optimizing a visible wavemeter.
