Bio:
Stephanie Pazos received her PhD from UCLA under the guidance of Prof. Richard Kaner. Her doctoral thesis titled “Perfluorophenylazide Photochemistry for the Modification of Materials” received the UCLA Chemists Association Dissertation Award in Inorganic Chemistry. During her graduate career, she was a recipient of the Eugene V. Cota-Robles Fellowship and was an active participate in the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) UCLA chapter. Outside of academia, she has worked in several industries conducting polymer, surface science, and nanofluidic research.
