Emma Olson graduated from Grinnell College with a Chemistry major Spring 2019. Her work in the Battle Lab focused on synthesizing a benzo(k,l)xanthene-3,4-dicarboximide scaffold for use as a fluorescent sensor. Following her time in the Battle Lab, Emma pursued a summer research internship with our collaborator Dr. Tod Grusenmeyer in synthesis and photochemistry at the Air Force Research Labs.

Emma is currently pursuing graduate work in the Masters Industrial Internship Program at the University of Oregon, through which she is working as a researcher at the Oregon Health Sciences University.
