Luc Wetherbee

I was born in Manhattan and lived in Ithaca, NY before studying chemistry at Cornell University, where I did research on metal-organic framework synthesis with Prof. Phill Milner. After graduating in 2021, I stayed in Ithaca and spent two years doing organic synthesis and product development at Ecolectro, a startup focused on alkaline exchange membranes for green hydrogen generation. I am now in the NIPU subgroup at the Lamb group studying the properties of POxa copolymers made using ROMP. Outside of work, I enjoy playing Dungeons and Dragons, going to pub trivia, and going to metal concerts in the Twin Cities.
