Lexy LeMar is a 4th year PhD candidate in the Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT. She received her bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Caltech, where she conducted research under Professor John Seinfeld and was a teaching assistant for several classes. Outside of research, she enjoys swimming and playing volleyball.
Her research focuses on the elucidation of the chemical transformations that organic compounds undergo in the atmospheric aqueous phase (i.e. suspended aqueous droplets) through the use of laboratory chamber experiments and kinetic box modeling.
