Janelle Amegatse: 2024 Winner of the Royal Society of Chemistry Certificate of Undergraduate Excellence

Congratulations to Janelle Amegatse who was selected as the 2024 Winner of the Royal Society of Chemistry Certificate of Undergraduate Excellence.

"Hello, my name is Janelle Amegatse! I’m a junior majoring in chemistry and minoring in Spanish, as well as a member of the W.A. Franke Honors College. I work in the Gianetti lab, whose research interests encompass grid-scale renewable energy storage, photocatalysis, and frustrated Lewis pair chemistry.

Specifically, I’ve enjoyed working on the characterization and synthesis of organic, carbocation-based electrolytes for our redox flow battery project. Outside of the lab, I love baking, interior design, and traveling. I’m so grateful to the CBC department for being selected for this honor!"
