Ankit obtained his B. Tech degree in Biotechnology from SASTRA University, India. In 2011, he joined Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), India as a Ph.D. student with Prof. Subi J. George. His research work focused on dynamic charge transfer aggregates and temporal control of their self-assembly using aspects of systems chemistry. His work showed that reaction networks can be used to control the size, growth, and decay of supramolecular systems. Following this in 2017 he joined Prof. Rein Ulijn's lab at Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC) as a Simons postdoctoral fellow. One of the main focuses of his work was to develop disordered condensates that can stabilize localized ordered domains. He showed that with appropriate functionalization amyloidal domains can be restricted inside liquid droplets and can result in materials with higher partition coefficients for hydrophobic molecules. 

In 2023 Ankit joined the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Brooklyn College as an Assistant Professor. In his lab, he envisages using his systems chemistry expertise in conjunction with hybrid condensates to develop novel materials that have significant applications in wide-ranging areas like biomedicine, energy and proto-cellular chemistry.  

I am a Chemistry B.S. major with a minor in physics. My goal is to obtain my PhD and continue doing research. My research interests are environmental science and veterinary medicine. As of now, I am torn between what I want to pursue specifically. I am originally from Ukraine. My current interests are reading, playing piano, and running.

As an undergraduate scientific research assistant, I am passionate about pursuing the intersection of dental health and nutrition. My scientific interests are driven by the synthesis of organic compounds tailored for dental applications- such as pH Balancing Compounds, Bioactive Glass, Fluoride Compounds, etc. Currently pursuing a B.S. in Health and Nutrition at CUNY Brooklyn College, I aspire to use evidence-based practices to link the gap between organic chemistry and innovative solutions in oral care.

I am a sophomore majoring in biology at Brooklyn College. I am currently on the premed track and cancer research is something that has always interested me. I am also the president and founder of the American Medical Women's Association at Brooklyn College.

I’m a Macaulay Honors undergraduate at Brooklyn College. I was born and raised in New York City. I am deeply passionate about science, and I’m on the pre-med track. My favorite hobbies include reading, vegan baking, and exercising.
