Yuyu Zhang
B.A., Earlham College (2020)
4th Year Ph.D. student
Brief Bio
I was born and raised in Shanghai, China. I pursued higher education in the United States, and have had the privilege of experiencing life in different parts of the world. In 2016, I moved to Richmond, IN to attend Earldom College, where I spent four memorable years immersed in the liberal arts education. In 2020, I continued my academic journey by moving north to pursue a graduate degree in chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh. I joined Prof. Rosi's lab in 2021. My research is focused on developing molecular methods for controlling the structure of nanoparticle assemblies. Outside of lab I enjoy an active lifestyle and find fulfillment in sports such as swimming, tennis, and table tennis. Additionally, I am a music lover and movie buff, and I cherish the time I get to spend with my family and friends.
