In the R-G Group, her work extends to the fabrication of advanced sensors using thin-film transistors.

PhD Candidates

Rachael Warner, BSc (2023 - )

Rachael decided to continue her research in the R-G group starting in Summer 2023 after completing a Bachelors degree in Chemistry at the University of Windsor. As an undergrad researcher, Rachael focused on the design and synthesis of novel high-performance organic semiconducting polymers for transistor applications. Building from this work, her PhD work focuses on the design of novel isoindigo-based semiconducting polymers towards more efficient stretchable electronics. She is developing synthetic strategies to access softer and more performant semiconducting polymers for various applications in organic electronics.

Amit Sur, MSc (2022 - )

Amit began his PhD in the R-G group in Winter 2025 after after completing a B.Sc and M.Sc in Chemistry at the University of Windsor. As an M.Sc student in the R-G group, his research focused on the photocrosslinking of soft semiconductors with polydiacetylene. With his PhD, Amit is exploring novel synthetic methods for semiconducting polymers and novel strategies to control their solid-state properties towards improved materials and organic electronics.

Victoria Olga Kis, MSc (2025 - )

Victoria joined the R-G Group in Fall 2025 after completing her M.Sc. in Chemistry at the University of Windsor. Her master’s research centered on the development of novel self-immolative polymers with controllable degradation pathways for drug release applications. Building on this strong background in synthetic and polymer chemistry, her Ph.D. now focuses on integrating saccharide and oligosaccharide units into semiconducting polymers to create greener functional materials, with direct applications in thin-film transistors.

Joyce Ampah, BSc (2025 - )

Joyce joined the R-G in the Winter of 2025 as an M.Sc student after completing her B.Sc at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Ghana. Before joining us at UWindsor, she worked in quality control at Master Plant, an Ontario-based company. With the R-G group, Joyce explores novel materials and procedures for the effective doping of semiconducting polymers bioelectronic applications.

Nisha K. C., BSc (2025 - )

Nisha joined the R-G in the Summer of 2025 as an M.Sc student after completing her B.Sc at Tribhuvan University in Kathmandu, Nepal, where her research interests included the synthesis of nanoparticles and their assembly with various polymers. In the R-G group, Nisha works at the interface of nanomaterials and organic electronics by exploring novel quantum dots and other nanomaterials for electronic and biophysical sensing applications.

MSc Candidates

Sara Al-Noor, BSc (2026 - )

Sara joined the R-G the Summer of 2026 as an M.Sc student after earning her B.Sc in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Windsor. Her undergraduate thesis in the Porter lab investigated protein regulation in cancer cell signaling and growth. Now, Sara is transitioning to electronic materials within the R-G group, where she is exploring the preparation of dynamic conjugated systems and the detection of emerging environmental analytes with functional π systems.
