Shikha Dhiman

Mohit Kumar

I am from Sonipat, Haryana, India. I earned my bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Swami Shraddhanand College, University of Delhi, India. Following my graduation, I pursued a master´s degree in Chemistry at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, where my thesis was focused on the development of small molecules targeting the Bcl-2 family of proteins. In November 2023, I joined Prof. Dhiman´s lab as a Ph.D. student where my research involves exploring supramolecular self-assembly at liquid-liquid interfaces.

Riccardo Di Forti

My name is Riccardo Di Forti, I grew up in Palermo where I obtained my Bachelor’s degree and Master degree in Chemistry cum laude in the University of Palermo in 2023. I have passion for Organic Chemistry and did part of my studies in Namur, Belgium. Now I am a PhD student in the Dhiman research group at the Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Germany. My research interests are the Organic Chemistry, Immune therapy and Supramolecular chemistry.

Dr. Surbhi Sharma

My Name is Surbhi Sharma. I grew up in India and obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry at Rohilkhand University 2011 and my Master degree in Chemistry from Aligarh Muslim University in 2013. I received my Ph.D. in Chemistry, entitled “Synthesis, characterization of new metal-based antitumor chemotherapeutic compounds and their biological evaluation” from Aligarh Muslim University. Afterwards, I joined postdoctoral research at Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), India ‘structural and temporal control in fuel driven self-assembled system”, in the supervision of Prof. Subi Jacob George. Later I joined as Assistant Professor at Department of Chemistry, Chandigarh University, Mohali, India in 2019. Now I am a Postdoctoral researcher in the Bioinspired Supramolecular Systems research group at the Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Germany.

Erna Schneider

I am Erna Schneider from Speyer and a B.Sc. Chemistry student at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz. In June I joined the Dhiman group as a research assistant to support the scientific progress. My scientific interests are the Organic Chemistry, Makromolecular Chemistry and Synthesis of Polymers.

Daria Kozlova

I am a B.Sc. Biomedical Chemistry student originally from Russia, currently pursuing my degree at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. Driven by passion for chemistry, I joined the group as a research assistant. My scientific interests extend to Pharmaceutical-Medicinal chemistry, Toxicology and Organic Synthesis.

Thi Thu Ha Nguyen

After finishing my Bachelor in biomedical chemistry at JGU, I continue to pursuit the consecutive Master degree at the same university. Through my study, I realized my passion for organic and medicinal chemistry, and have gathered the most experience in organic synthesis. By working in Dhiman’s lab, I was able to horn my practical skills as well as to expand my knowledge in different discipline. It was my pleasure to contribute to the team’s effort on their aspiring projects.

Jesús Ángel Toboso Saiz

I am Jesús Ángel Toboso Saiz and I am from Spain, I did my bachelor’s degree in chemistry in Valencia. During my last bachelor’s year, I decided to do an exchange at the Jyväskylä University in Finland. I loved the educational system there and all the opportunities given to the students, so I started my master’s degree in Nanoscience with chemistry as my major. Now I’m doing an exchange for my master’s thesis project at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz where I will work with coacervates and its spectroscopic analysis.
