ADITI GALI

Undergraduate Researcher (worked in the Gunasooriya Lab, Summer 2023)
B.Sc. Chemical Engineering, University of Oklahoma, Norman, Expected-2026
Minors in Chemistry and Art History

Aditi was born in College Station, Texas, and moved to Oklahoma at the age of 5. She has been studying computer science since 6th grade and desires to apply her prior knowledge, while learning more, about sustainable tactics within Chemical Engineering. In the Gunasooriya lab, Aditi uses Density Functional Theory to examine electrocatalytic properties, particularly in single-alloy atoms, as they decrease the ensemble effect in metal alloys by reducing the amount to its lowest possible quantity. Aside from her academic interests, she explores the creation of art in everyday objects, with a focus on functionality, versatility, chemical properties, and usage of materials. She works on a variety of materials to bring attention to the beauty of our natural and advancing world to encourage people to witness the possibilities through the impossible.
