Farzane Khalili
M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry, Iran University of Science and Technology (2021) B.Sc. in Applied Chemistry, Islamic Azad University, (2016) Farzane joined the group in Spring 2024. She is currently working on two projects. On the one hand, she has carried out extensive characterization of the metal complexes of a series of coumarin-enamine ligands in collaboration with Dr. Karl Wallace's group at the University of Southern Mississippi. On the other, she will start work on our recently funded project, a collaboration with Dr. Shane Street's group in this department, using polymer-templated metal nanoparticles for analytical applications. |

Deblina Bhowmick
B.S. (2016) and M.S. (2018), Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Bangladesh Deblina joined the group in Spring 2023 to work on a project completely new to the group: developing heterogeneous populations of metal nanoparticle into chemical sensor arrays for pattern-based chemical recognition. The project will enjoy the collaboration of our UA colleague Dr. Shane Street. |
We are always looking for motivated graduate students to join our group! Please contact Dr. Bonizzoni for further information.

Emma Sower
BCh in Chemistry and BS in Mathematics - expected graduation: Spring 2025 Emma started in the group in Spring 2022. She will work in collaboration with Dale Wilger's group at Samford University to use a series of Wilger's indenones for the analytical detection of second- and third-row transition metals at trace levels using optical spectroscopy. |
Are you interested in a research experience in our lab? We are always looking for motivated undergraduates to join our group. Please contact Dr. Bonizzoni for further information.
