The Rowland Institute is excited to welcome two new Rowland Fellows, Dr. Viktoriia Morad and Dr. Sophia Shi.
Viktoriia joins us from ETH Zurich, Switzerland, where she completed her PhD in 2023. While at Rowland, Viktoriia’s lab will be focusing on novel colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals as programmable light-harvesting and charge-handling units.
Sophia joins us from Stanford University where she earned her PhD in 2025. Sophia’s lab seeks to uncover the role of sugar molecules (glycans) on the surface of neurons that are implicated in brain aging and neurogenerative diseases.
