Katherine L. Hull
Biography
2005-present Ph.D. in progress
2006 M.S. University of Notre Dame, Indiana (Development of II-VI and IV-VI semiconductor nanowires)
2003 B.S. Bob Jones University, South Carolina
Research Interests
Katie's research focuses on the synthesis and structural characterization of carbon dianions, R2C2-, which are accompanied by two alkali metals. These Group I diorganometallic compounds have application in synthetic organic chemistry.
