Paolo Suating

Paolo was born and raised in Manila, Philippines, where he did two years of undergraduate work in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Santo Tomas. He emigrated to the US in 2008 and had a brief stint as a certified pharmacy technician. He continued his studies in the fall of 2013 at Northern Illinois University where he did research in the laboratories of Marc Adler studying organosilicon chemistry. He received his BS in chemistry in August 2016, after which he started graduate work at Tulane University.

His research interests include synthetic methodology, supramolecular chemistry, and organometallic chemistry. Ultimately his goal after graduate school is to teach and do further research at the university level and to be a mentor to young minds.

He is known in the group and to most of his students as a “fountain of absolutely useless information”.
