What You can Be with a Ph.D. from Yale

“I’m excited to be joining the Gaunt Group at the University of Cambridge as a postdoctoral fellow, where I’ll be developing new catalytic methods for selective chemical transformations. My goal is to develop catalytic methods that make chemical synthesis more sustainable and efficient, improving how we produce important molecules like pharmaceuticals and materials. 

Science has had a major impact on my own life socially and economically, and I hope to give back by mentoring students and encouraging others to pursue science as a path of opportunity and growth.”

Marcus Vinicius Pinto Pereira, Jr., Ph.D., Class of 2026
