My name is Anh Nguyen, an Analytical Chemistry Ph.D student at the University of Utah. As a single mom with English as a second language and a first-generation college student, being admitted to the Chemistry graduate program at the University of Utah is one of the best rewards. I have my Bachelor's in Chemistry from the University of Utah. I am currently a graduate research assistant in Prof. Jennifer Shumaker-Parry. We are focusing on studying nanostructures' properties and behaviors with different spectroscopic as well as their application in sensing and detection. My project specifically studies the Aluminum nanocrescents' chiroptical as well as the potential applications in sensing and detection.
