Chemistry Faculty and Staff

Rachel Hall ’22 is from Roswell, Georgia. She is a prospective Chemistry major, and a member of The Claremont Colleges Ballroom Dance Company. She would love to eventually work in the fields of Cosmetic Chemistry or Dermatology. Rachel became a liaison to help first years find their way and have a better picture of what the chemistry department has to offer, especially when it comes to summer research. You can contact Rachel at rjha2018@mymail.pomona.edu. 

Kate Shimamoto ’22 is chemistry major from Chicago, Illinois (if you listen closely you can hear a slight accent). She is a student athlete on the track and field team, and runs the 400m and 800m. When she is not at practice or in lab, Kate loves playing the piano, hiking, and watching random documentaries in her free time. She is also incredibly passionate about space and could talk about black holes, the multiverse, and quantum theory for hours. After college, Kate hopes to go into medical research. If you ever would like to hear a few fun facts, especially chemistry related ones, she would love to talk!
