Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Jackson is an undergraduate researcher and aspiring bioinorganic chemist at UC Davis studying how enzymes exploit metal chemistries for energy conversion, with a focus on hydrogenases and their role in early biochemical systems. He combines hands-on spectroscopy—building custom IR and X-ray instruments—with computational analysis to design catalytic materials aimed at a green hydrogen economy. His experience spans international research stints at the Max Planck Institute and SETI Institute collaborations, and he’s received competitive Congressional scholarships for study abroad and specialized cryobiochemistry work. Beyond the lab, Alexander has held student governance and outreach roles, advocating for youth exchange and public diplomacy to broaden scientific perspectives. With 11 years of varied experience from Berkeley Lab internships to roof support for campus physics facilities, he brings practical problem-solving, instrument-building skills, and a planetary-scale view of catalysis and the search for life.
