Calynn Johnson

Calynn began working in the lab in summer 2012. Her project was funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Pre-College and Undergraduate Science Education Program. Calynn's work focused on solvent-driven self-assembly of P3HT in mixtures of organic solvents. In fall 2012 Calynn received a Major Academic Year Scholarship (MAYS) Grant from The Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (URCA) Program at the College of Charleston. She continued working on her project throughout the 2012-2013 academic year and completed her Honor's College bachelor's essay.

 

In fall 2013 Calynn began working on her Ph.D. in physical chemistry at Washington University in St. Louis.

Calynn presenting her work at the Southeastern Meeting of the American Chemical Society, Raleigh, NC (November, 2012).

Calynn presenting her work at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, New Orleans, LA (April, 2013).
