Background

About Madison Johnson

I'm an undergraduate chemistry student with a strong interest in organic synthesis and its applications in drug discovery and materials science. I've conducted research at both The College of Wooster and the University of Pittsburgh, where I worked on projects involving porphyrin–PYBOX macromolecules for solar cell applications and heterocyclic scaffold development through modified multicomponent reactions.My hands-on experience includes techniques such as NMR, UV-Vis, IR, column chromatography, and air-sensitive methods like Schlenk line work. I’ve also supported students as a teaching assistant, managing lab samples and data while fostering a safe and productive lab environment.I’m passionate about building my skills as a scientist, contributing to innovative research, and eventually pursuing a PhD in chemistry with a focus on synthetic methods and pharmaceutical development.
