Sam Dudra

Sam was born and raised in Surrey, BC, but decided to swap coasts to study at Dalhousie University in Halifax. There, she completed a B.Sc. in chemistry in 2022 under the supervision of Dr. Saurabh Chitnis, working on the development of novel P–N polymers. As an Ph.D. student, she is working on investigating and developing new nickel catalysts to be used for cross-coupling. Outside of the lab, Sam likes to hike, go to the gym, and explore the city in search of the best cup of coffee.
