Joshua Helms was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in 2000. He attended the University of Alabama as an undergraduate from 2018-2022 and graduated with a Bachelor of Chemistry degree with a minor in mathematics in May 2022. During his senior year, Joshua worked with Dr. Brad Pierce as an undergraduate research assistant. Afterwards, Joshua continued his education at the University of Alabama while working under Dr. Pierce to study the mechanisms of thiol dioxygenase enzymes using EPR spectroscopy and computational chemistry. Joshua earned his master’s degree in chemistry in December of 2024 and is on track to graduate with a Ph.D. in chemistry in May 2027. After graduating, Joshua intends on continuing his education to obtain a postdoctoral degree.
