Steven Huss

Steven Huss obtained his BS in Chemistry at West Chester University, where he worked under Dr. Mark Shuman using Supercritical Fluid Chromatography to quantify capsaicinoids in hot peppers, while assisting in redesigning some experiments for the undergraduate organic chemistry lab. He also explored the photoluminescence quenching of silicon nanopores with Kurt Kolasinski. Steven started an internship at Sartomer (Arkema Group) during the spring of 2017 and continued until the summer of 2018. He then attended the Ph.D. program here at PSU, in the Badding Group. In the fall of 2019, he joined the Elacqua Group and continued his work on reducing the pressure requirement for synthesizing carbon nanothreads.
