ALT CELEBRATING WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH K-State Chemistry Edition Pricilla Matseketsa (graduate student) EDUCATION: BSc. & MSc. in Chemistry (University of Zimbabwe) Favorite Element: Promethium (Pm) Favorite molecule: DNA Favorite Nobel Laureate: Sir Fraser Stoddart What do you enjoy about chemistry? I derive immense satisfaction in the process of designing and synthesizing novel materials and studying their properties and functional mechanisms. What’s intriguing is by using available chemical synthesis methods, one has the capacity to fabricate materials hitherto unexplored, thereby expanding the frontier of scientific knowledge. Current research: Design and synthesis and design of metal organic frameworks for applications in catalysis and sensing.
