Sooyun Choi

Sooyun Choi is a Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry at Clemson University's College of Science. She earned her B.A. in Chemistry from Swarthmore College (2017) and her Ph.D. in Chemistry from Yale University (2022). Her research focuses on asymmetric organocatalytic reactions and the synthesis of chiral compounds, including atroposelective methods for axially chiral triazoles. Dr. Choi teaches undergraduate courses such as General Chemistry (CH1010/1020) and Organic Chemistry (CH2230/2240), emphasizing hands-on learning and academic mentorship.

Her doctoral work under Prof. Scott Miller at Yale explored novel organocatalytic pathways, culminating in a notable publication in J. Org. Chem.. While no specific awards are listed, her contributions to organic synthesis methodologies are highlighted through her academic publications. She actively advises undergraduate students, fostering their academic and research development.
