Ryan Racioppo
B.S. in Chemistry (Expected April 2024)
Undergraduate
Brief Bio
I grew up in Ambridge, PA, which is located about forty minutes north of Pittsburgh. After graduating high school in 2020, I decided to attend the University of Pittsburgh to attain my B.S. in chemistry on the materials science track, in which I will graduate in 2024. I joined the Rosi group to conduct undergraduate research because of the interdisciplinary nature of metal-organic framework materials. I currently work with Steven and study the structural dependence of MOFs on their reactivity. Apart from chemistry, I am also pursuing a German language certificate and want to conduct MOF research in Germany after completing my undergraduate degree. Then, I plan to return to the U.S. to pursue a Ph.D. in chemistry. Outside of the lab, I enjoy watching movies, hiking, and playing tennis.
