Sharani Roy

Sharani Roy grew up in Delhi, India. She graduated with a B.Sc. in Chemistry from Hansraj College at the University of Delhi, and a M.Sc. degree in Chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology at Delhi. During the latter, she simulated the melting of rare-gas clusters in the group of Prof. Charusita Chakravarty. Then she joined the Ph.D. program in Chemistry at Yale University, where she studied nonadiabatic gas-surface scattering in the group of Prof. John Tully. After completing her Ph.D., she joined the group of Prof. Mark Ratner at Northwestern University as a postdoctoral research associate and modeled STM-induced molecular dissociation on metal surfaces and heterogeneous catalysis by metal-organic frameworks. She joined the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, as an Assistant Professor in 2014 and has since been promoted to Associate Professor.
