#BlackinChem Feature: Kayla Storme

Happy #BlackinChem Week! For #BlackinOrganic day we would like to feature one of our own awesome chemists here at MIT. 

Meet Kayla Storme, a second year Organic/PPSM student who is co-advised between Prof. Tim Swager in Chemistry and Prof. Zach Smith in Chemical Engineering. Kayla works to synthesize and characterize novel microporous polymers for gas separations. 

Her favorite thing about being a scientist is being able to use her creativity to expand knowledge and promote learning in her community as well as learn so many new and exciting things from her peers. Kayla’s favorite technique is Prep-Gel Permeation Chromatography (Prep-GPC) or gas permeation system. 

During quarantine, Kayla has been having the most fun riding her motorcycle!
