About

Michael Sebek is a highly educated and experienced chemist with a passion for research and teaching. He received his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Truman State University in 2012, where he conducted undergraduate research in the field of analytical chemistry. He then went on to earn his Masters and Ph.D. in Chemistry from Saint Louis University by 2017, where his research focused on the interplay between network science and electrochemistry. After completing his Ph.D., Michael continued his research as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at Northeastern University, where he works in food science, network medicine, and AI/ML. His work has been published in several peer-reviewed journals and has been presented at national and international conferences.
