Current Members

Emma Gubbins
Ph.D. Candidate

Emma graduated with a B.A. in Chemistry from Smith College in 2018 where she worked under Professor Andrew Berke. She then worked in a trace metals analysis lab at Dow Chemical for one year before joining the Shultz lab in Fall 2019. She is currently working on studying ice interfaces using the SBW nonlinear interferometer. When she is not in lab she enjoys playing soccer, wheel throwing, hiking, and traveling.

Ziqing Xiong
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.

Zhenyu Lin
1st Year Ph.D. Student

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.
