Post Docs

Saheli Sarkar
Saheli earned her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University and her M.S. from Drexel University. While at Case Western, Saheli worked in the group of Prof. Harihara Baskaran on cellular migration. Saheli is working with the Payne and Kemp labs to understand redox activity inside cells.
Debjyoti Bandyopadhyay
Debjyoti earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Syracuse University with Prof. Yan-Yeung Luk. Debjyoti has worked on the fabrication of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of chiral polyol-terminated alkanethiols on gold. In the Payne Lab, Debjyoti is working on bioconjugation and lysosomal transport.


Alexandra Hill
Alexandra earned her Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Technology from the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in Germany with Prof. Karsten Mäder. studying the controlled release of nanosuspensions from osmotic devices. In the Payne Lab, she is starting a project focused on the interaction of biomedically relevant nanoparticles with cells.


Josh Morris
Josh earned his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Texas at Austin with Prof. Xiaoyang Zhu investigating organic photovoltaics with non-linear optical microscopy. In the Payne lab, he is working on the biological synthesis of PEDOT:PSS.
Srikant Iyer
Srikant earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry and Chemical Biology from Cornell University with Prof Ulrich Wiesner synthesizing multicolor fluorescent dye-based silica nanoparticles. In the Payne group, he is working on characterizing nanoparticle-protein interactions and the effect of cellular membrane potential.


Graduate Students

Candace Fleischer
Candace earned her M.S. and B.S. in Chemistry from Western Washington University. In the Payne Lab, she is studying nanoparticle-protein interactions.
Scott Thourson
Scott earned his B.S. in Bioengineering from Bradley University. He will be working with both the Payne lab and the Forest lab from the School of Mechanical Engineering and is interested in translating current nanoparticle and drug delivery studies to in vivo application.


Rotation Students

Dipesh Khanal
Dipesh earned his B.S. in Biochemistry from Quinnipiac University in Connecticut and is a first-year grad student at GT. His principal interest is in Analytical Chemistry, but in the Payne Lab he will focus on a project studying the effects of membrane potential on nanoparticle binding.


Undergraduate Students

Chelsea Thompson
Chelsea is a 4th year Biochemistry major studying nanoparticle-cell interactions as a function of nanoparticle surface modification.
Nina Mohebbi
Nina is a 2nd year Biomedical Engineering major working on the biological incorporation and synthesis of a conducting polymer.

Lab Technicians

Emilie Warren
Emilie is a graduate of Georgia Tech with a B.S. in Biochemistry and a minor in Spanish. She is currently studying the effect that cellular binding of nanoparticles has on the transmembrane potential.
