Profile Summary

I earned my Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from the University of Cincinnati under the mentorship of Prof. Peng Zhang. My thesis was centered on the synthesis, spectroscopic, and microscopic characterization of versatile optical active nanomaterials. Fascinated by the field of electrochemistry, I joined Prof. Katherine Willets’s lab at Temple University for my postdoctoral research to investigate electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution on a variety of electrocatalytic materials using an operando fluorescence microscopy technique. To further pursue my research interest in the field of spectro-electrochemistry of electrochemical reactions, at the University of Louisville, my research in Prof. Andrew J. Wilson’s lab was focused on studying electrochemical CO2 reduction on different metal electrodes using operando surface-sensitive techniques. When Wilson lab was in the early stages of its establishment, I gained experience in setting up the optics lab by installing the laser table, aligning lasers, and setting up equipment such as an atomic force microscope (AFM). This experience has prepared me to design and budget for a laboratory, efficiently set up equipment and experiments, and train undergraduate students. To further consolidate my expertise in the field of decarbonizations sciences and widen the scope of my research experience, I joined Prof. Benjamin Wiley’s lab as a research associate in the chemistry department at Duke University, my research is focused on designing and optimizing the earth-abundant metal electrodes for alkaline water electrolyzers for green hydrogen production. Based on my experience in the field of decarbonization sciences, I currently work at RTI international (non-profit organization) as a research scientist developing CO2 capture and conversion technologies. After my first postdoctoral stint, I also worked as a patent analyst for an intellectual property law firm where I worked for clients from variety of chemical industries for drafting > 50 patent applications, prosecuted > 200 patent applications and conducted patent searches and freedom to operate projects.
