If you didn't know it... undergraduate research is HUGE at Carnegie Mellon. It's where I got my start. Right here in what is now my very own labs-- but at that time they belonged to Dr. Rick McCullough.
Today's researcher is part of our vibrant undergraduate research culture. Please say hi to Joe!
Name: Joseph Dosch
Hometown: Pittsburgh
Education/ Experience/ Awards: Carnegie Mellon Chemistry major, Biomedical Engineering minor, CMU Chemistry SURF 2023, Pitt Pharmacology SURF 2024
Team Sydlik Member since: January 2023
Research Project: Adsorbent properties of Activated Charcoal, Aromatic Peptide Amphiphiles
Favorite thing about CMU/ the Sydlik Group: The group members generally like each other and can joke around which makes for a positive research environment.
Least favorite thing about CMU/ the Sydlik Group: When I put a lot of effort into an experiment and the data is terrible or I spill everything.
Favorite thing to do in Pittsburgh: Live in it (best city)
Fun fact: Cannot solve a rubik's cube
I am Joe Dosch, a senior Chemistry major at Carnegie Mellon. I have been a part of the Sydlik lab working with Hunter Wood and Stella Trickett since the spring of 2023. My research involves analyzing the adsorbent properties of activated charcoal, synthesizing/characterizing peptide amphiphiles as a biocompatible adsorbent, and obeying Hunter’s demands. If I am not in the lab doing yet another NCA synthesis, I am probably doing homework, at a Steelers game, or playing ultimate frisbee for Carnegie Mellon’s club team.
