Mengjia Liu (Class of 2018)

My name is Mengjia Liu. I was born in Baoding. I received my B.S. degree from Henan University of Technology in 2015 and obtained master degree in applied chemistry from Zhengzhou University in 2018. My research was focused on the development of porous metal-organic framework materials for heterogeneous catalysis. I joined Dr. Shi's group in fall of 2018 pursuing a Ph.D. degree and I enjoy the challange of organic chemistry. I look forward to the new life at USF.

Teng Yuan

Teng was born in Shanghai. After obtaining his B.S. degree in East China University of Science and Technology in 2013, he worked as a research assistant at Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry for three years, which has inspired him to further pursue his study in Organic Chemistry. In 2016, he joined Professor Shi's group at USF and started his Ph.D. journey. What he wants to explore in this journey is not only to appreciate the logic of organic chemistry but also to gain deeper understanding in this field.

Elaine Sun
Hello! My name is Elaine and I am originally from the Naperville, Illinois. I came to Tampa for university and am currently majoring in Biomedical Sciences at USF. In the Shi group, I work with Jingwen and assist him in his research projects. I’m really looking forward to learning and working more within the organic chemistry field!

 
Max Abreu
Hello! My name is Max but I go by Maxwell. I am from Jacksonville, Florida, and have lived in Fl my whole life. I am pursuing a degree in Biomedical Sciences at the moment, however I may change my degree to Chemistry. I am currently working with Chenhuan and help him with various reactions and tasks around the lab. I am excited to learn in work with all of Shi group.
 
Phil Cruz
Hello there! My name is Phil, and I am from Riverview, Florida. I received my B.S. degree in Biomedical Sciences from USF in May 2021. Currently, I am both working toward entering a Ph.D. program in Chemistry and participating in the Shi group, where I hope to gain a deeper appreciation for organic synthesis under the tutelage of Qi Tang. I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenges and insights I have gained thus far, and I am very excited to continue my work with this group of dedicated researchers.
