Current Researchers
Alfred moved to Canada when he joined the Paige Group in September 2018 as a Masters Student. He received his BSc in Chemistry from the University of Cape Coast in his home country, Ghana. Here at USask, his Masters's research in the Paige group involved single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopic analysis of phase-separated 10, 12-pentacosadynoic acid and perfluorotetradecanoic acid system to investigate energy transfer dynamics. He rejoined the Paige group in January 2021 as a PhD student after completing his MSc.
His doctoral research has started with working on understanding how the chirality of photopolymerizable surfactant molecules affects the physicochemical properties of monolayers that contain these surfactants. He loves Soccer and finds happiness in listening to music and helping others. P.S, he is not easily beaten in video games!
Harpreet moved to Canada in January 2022 as a PhD Student. Originally from Haryana, she received her 5-years integrated degree (BS-MS, Chemistry) from Indian Institute of Science, Education and Research (IISER), Mohali in India. Here at USask, she is presently investigating structure-property relationship in Langmuir monolayers of photoswitchable molecules (Donor-Acceptor Stenhouse Adducts; DASA).
