Ahmed did his B.Sc. at McMaster University, where he was involved in projects including organic photocatalyst optimization, analysis of organic pollutant fate in the environment, and formulation of pharmaceutical products for pre-clinical trials. Since joining the Nitz group in 2024, Ahmed has been working toward producing new C-glycoside scaffolds. Sugars aside, he has a real passion for cheese… soft, sharp, pungent, bring it all. Crackers aren’t the only things he’s cracking up, though. Stay punny, Ahmed!!
