Gbenga Fabusola


B. Tech Industrial Chemistry.

research interests: leveraging machine learning and mathematical models to improve gas sensors

about: I have a soft spot for fitness and good music. Good food will be preferable with the music too.

Paul Morris


B.S. Chemistry, B.S. Applied Mathematics, The Evergreen State College.

research interests: developing mathematical models and machine learning algorithms to improve and curate nanoporous materials for gas sensor arrays.

about: When not on campus, you’ll find me playing competitive racquetball on the OSU team, cruising around on a loud motorcycle, painting, and getting lost in the woods. I like to think my home away from home is alongside the elk and rain in the Olympic National Forest.

Qia Ke


B.S. Chemical Engineering, M.S. Chemical Engineering, South China University of Technology.

research interests: using machine learning, decision-making algorithms, and molecular simulations to efficiently search for porous materials with optimal adsorption properties.

about: I enjoy traveling, savoring different cuisines, and watching TV shows.
