Hello! My name is Sofia and I'm a Senior studying chemistry with a minor in math. My research interests fall in organic synthetic chemistry and organometallics. I’m a member of the Walsh lab where I synthesize small organic molecules with and without metal catalysts. Before arriving at Penn I had no research experience and felt completely overwhelmed by the process. I’m looking forward to helping guide students just like me who feel the same about the process.
