Vineet Mathur is currently a PhD student at the University of California, San Francisco, focusing on the synthesis of novel 1,2,4-trioxolanes for antimalarial therapeutic applications. Prior experience includes a research fellowship at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, where Vineet engaged in asymmetric Michael additions of pyruvates, and an undergraduate researcher position at the University of California, Berkeley, developing ruthenium photosensitizers for protein photoactivation. Previously, as a summer research intern at Northeastern University, Vineet explored charge distribution in vertically stacked bismuth selenide, while a research intern at Harvard Medical School focused on neural signal recovery using carbon nanotube bridges. Vineet's research journey began at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, where the fabrication of a graphene oxide membrane for seawater desalination was undertaken. Vineet Mathur holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Biology from the University of California, Berkeley.
