Sam Mckinnon

Bio:

I’m from Memphis, TN. I began my undergraduate research in the CCHF under Dr. Colleen Scott at Mississippi State University. After starting my graduate studies at Emory, I joined the Davies lab where I am currently working on harnessing intermolecular interactions to control site selectivity in Dirhodium catalyzed transformations.
