Materials Scientist with 15 years of research experience and a focus in electrochemistry, spectroscopy, and synthesis.

Profile Summary

I am currently working as a postdoctoral fellow discovering design rules for triplet transfer between organic and silicon materials using synthesis, electrochemistry, and spectroscopy. My PhD thesis was the study of electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction using electroanalytical chemistry and materials characterization. My pregrad research experience consists of organic chemistry and biotechnology. I obtained my PhD in 2020 and my bachelors in 2012. I have been working in research labs since 2007.
