Biography
Evan Reynolds is currently a PhD candidate in the Chemistry Department at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill working in the lab of Dr. Eric Brustad. His projects are aimed at expanding the chemical functionality available to proteins by developing new techniques in co-factor engineering. He has obtained his BSc with highest distinction in Chemistry and a BA in Mathematics from the University of Virginia; there he studied the photophysical properties of luminescent ruthenium complexes with Dr. James Demas. He has published a report in the Journal of Fluorescence describing viscosity effects on rates of oxygen quenching of these luminescent complexes.
