Ahanjit Bhattacharya
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemistry
BioAhanjit Bhattacharya is a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Steven Boxer at the Department of Chemistry. His core philosophy of research is "learning through building". Ahanjit carried out his doctoral research at the University of California San Diego. He worked on designing artificial cellular systems from fundamental building blocks. He also has a deep interest in understanding the origins and evolution of life. Ahanjit's major accomplishments are development of lipid compartments as programmable synthetic cells and organelles, and development of minimal biochemical strategies for synthesis of membrane-forming lipids. His experience with lipid materials inspired him to gain expertise in the area of membrane biophysics. Currently, Ahanjit is working on physical mechanisms of fusion of enveloped viruses with lipid membranes. He is also trying to understand structure-function relationships in complex archaeal lipids. He uses a host of biophysical tools which includes X-ray scattering, single particle microscopy, and electron microscopy. Ahanjit is passionate about communicating science and making it a transformational force for betterment of society and humanity.

Sreekanth Kizhakkumpurath Manikandan
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemistry
BioI am interested in developing theoretical and computational tools to study dissipative processes at the nanoscale. I also work closely with experimental groups at the interface of biophysics, soft matter physics, and chemistry, and I have contributed to testing our theoretical findings on experimental data.

Lin Liu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemistry
BioI finished my undergraduate study in general chemistry at Shandong Normal University in 2014. Later, I continued to my master’s studies in organic chemistry at Lanzhou University. In 2018, I moved to Baylor University conducting research under the mentorship of Professor John L. Wood. During my graduate studies, I mainly focused on the total syntheses of natural products. In 2024, I joined the Khosla lab and Cui lab as a joint postdoc. Outside the lab, I like cooking, playing basketball, and watching movies

Gabriela Lomeli
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemistry
BioGabriela is a Propel Postdoctoral Scholar, co-advised by Professor Carolyn Bertozzi and Professor Polly Fordyce. Gabriela earned her PhD from the UC Berkeley – UC San Francisco Graduate Program in Bioengineering and holds a BS in Chemical Engineering from Stanford University. Her research is broadly centered on the development of microfluidic tools for protein analysis and protein engineering. At present, her main project seeks to engineer proteases to target mucins using a high-throughput microfluidic platform.
