Ph.D. Candidate
Ziqing comes from Hunan Province, China. He spent most of his effort researching on electrochemical cataysis in Xinguo Li’s Group (Peking University, 2017-2019) as an undergraduate student, and worked on electrochemial nitrogen reduction in Jeremy Smith Group (Indiana University Bloomington, 2019-2020) as a visiting scholar. With a interest of physical chemistry and instrumental designs, he joined Shultz Lab in 2020 as PhD student in Tufts University and started working on Nonlinear Interferometer and Amonia-air Interfaces. Ziqing has a wide range of hobbies in his spare time especially watching dramas and live music.

Ph.D. Candidate
Zhenyu grew up in Shanghai, China and graduated with B.S in Chemistry from Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Geneva, NY in 2021. He joined Shultz Group as a Master student in 2021 focusing on titanium dioxide photocatalyst based organic pollutant photo degradation research. He finished the Master’s program by the end of 2022 and keep doing research on the same topic as a Ph.D. student starting from 2023.
Rubel grew up in Bangladesh and graduated with B.S. in Applied Physics, Electronics & Communication Engineering from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, in 2012 and completed his MSc and PhD from the University of Manitoba, Canada in 2016 and 2023, respectively. He joined Shultz Group as a Postdoctoral Scholar in January 2025 focusing on phase sensitive sum frequency generation spectroscopy of Ice, PVA, titanium dioxide films.
