\"Individual-7562\"
Juli has long been interested in how confinement at interfaces and in (bio)materials can influence processes like molecular recognition and specific ion effects. This interest leads our group into fundamental studies of processes at interfaces and also into the design of new material properties based on our ability to take advantage of the unique environment that such interfaces present. When Juli is not thinking about chemistry, she loves cooking, yoga, walking, and chatting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Postdoctoral Fellow<\/h2>\n

Dr. Preeti Gahtori<\/h4>\n
\"\"
My research focuses on the exploration of interfacial phenomena at various interfaces using ultrafast nonlinear spectroscopy techniques. Currently, I am investigating the effects of different ions on solid-aqueous interfaces under varying pH conditions. These studies aim to deepen our understanding of the fundamental interactions at these interfaces, which can have significant implications in fields such as materials science, chemistry, and environmental science. Outside of my research, I enjoy painting, watching documentaries, and occasionally experimenting in the kitchen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nathaniel Tetteh<\/h4>\n
\"\"
Nathaniel utilizes electrokinetic and non-linear optical spectroscopy to study specific ion effects at the planar silica\/water interface with a focus on phenomena occurring at high pH regimes. In his leisure time, Nathaniel enjoys watching\/ playing soccer, singing\/ listening to music, and reading Christian literature. ntetteh@ualberta.ca<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anantha Ealeswarapu<\/h4>\n
\"\"
Anantha’s research interest lies in bio-analytical chemistry. Current research focuses on developing an isothermal self-replication DNA strategy using destabilizing probes for the identification of viral RNA targets. Her project focuses on studying the dependence of background-triggered reactions on biochemical factors. In her free time, she loves reading science fiction books, doing yoga, biking in trials, and hanging out with friends. ealeswar@ualberta.ca<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ilia Gennadiev<\/h4>\n
\"\"
Ilia is interested in organic synthesis and DNA modification to study their interactions with biologically active compounds. Ilia enjoy hiking, swimming, and dogs. gennadie@ualberta.ca<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Paul Elinkpo<\/h4>\n
\"\"
Paul has a strong interest in Environmental and Sustainable Chemistry with his research focuses on the impacts of divalent salts on the structure of water around minerals. This research is pertinent to remediation of mining tailings wastewater prior to dewatering. Paul enjoys watching Soccer and documentaries related to Cosmology, Big bang theory, and Science fiction. In terms of physical fitness, he loves swimming & gymming. elinkpo@ualberta.ca<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
