Karla Rosalia Sanchez Lievanos

Karla received a B.S. in molecular design and nanochemistry from the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Morelos in 2018. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate in materials chemistry at the University of Rochester. Her research, supervised by Professor Kathryn Knowles, focuses on the design of nanoscale semiconductor materials for the degradation of contaminants in water. Her primary research goal is to utilize molecular and materials chemistry strategies to develop safe and high-performance technologies for environmental remediation. She enjoys seeing herself as a proactive leader and being able to demonstrate to the public that we all belong at the scientific table.
