Prof. Kenny Lee
I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry at BYU in 2016 and my PhD in Chemistry at Purdue University in 2020. I then worked as a postdoctoral researcher and staff scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the Department of Biomolecular Chemistry prior to joining the BYU Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in 2023. I enjoy playing piano, violin, writing music, reading fantasy with my wife, and playing video games with my family and friends.

Dr. Chao Pang
Lab Manager and Postdoctoral Fellow
After earning a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering in China, I spent over a decade in the industry, working with companies such as PPG, 3M, and Enoch Capital. Following my baptism into the LDS Church, I decided to move to the United States to pursue a new life. I obtained my master’s degree in biochemistry from CSUF, and a PhD in bioanalytical chemistry from BYU. As a postdoctoral researcher, I will continue to contribute to the field by innovating instrumentation and methodologies in analytical chemistry, particularly focusing on lipidomic analysis using GCMS.

Ebunoluwa O. Kukoyi
Graduate Student - Analytical Chemistry
I am a doctoral student from Nigeria. I graduated with a B.Tech in pure and applied chemistry from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) in 2020. I worked in the industry for about 2 years and started working on a PhD in Analytical Chemistry in 2023. I am excited to explore the interaction mechanism and the effect of Per- and Poly fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) on protein properties using Cyclic ion mobility mass spectrometry. I am a lover of God's word and gospel songs. I enjoy cooking and sightseeing.

Emmanuel Dare
Graduate Student - Analytical Chemistry
I am a graduate student in the Lee Lab from Nigeria. I earned my bachelor's degree in 2018 from the University of Benin in Benin City, Nigeria. After working in the industry for a few years, I decided to pursue my doctorate. My research interests focus on understanding the extent to which the native properties of proteins are preserved in the gas phase, utilizing both commercial and new instruments.
