Chemistry Faculty & Staff

Bukuru Anaclet ’21 is a chemistry and math double major from Chicago, Illinois. Chemistry is one of his favorite topics and he loves talking all things chemistry. Some of his favorite topics include inorganic chemistry, material chemistry and computation chemistry. Outside of Seaver North, you can find Bukuru in Millikan or running around Claremont. Aside from that, Bukuru enjoys climbing and being outside, playing ultimate frisbee, running, and spending time with his friends. He is very excited to make chemistry a more inclusive and welcoming space for everyone this year. Please feel free to reach out to him if you ever want to talk chemistry, the department or any cool research!
