University Of Portland

• Poster presentation: A. Calletano; A. Nguyen; R. Bard. "Synthesis of a Biomimetic Adhesive Polymer". University of Portland Founder's Day, Portland, OR, United States, April 2019.
• Completed 4 of 6 complex steps, oftentimes working with air-sensitive pyrophoric chemicals and quantifying conversion efficiency via TLC at every step in the synthesis of a biomimetic adhesive similar to the one that.
• Communicated and collaborated with research partners, when working in team and independently, on the multiple synthetic steps in hopes of studying the biomimetic polymer for its adhesive properties which have not yet.
• Increased yield of fourth step product from 38.73% to 66.16% by collecting and analyzing IR and NMR spectroscopy data that allowed for impurities to be found in the products of the synthetic steps and protocols to be.
• Achieved successful recrystallization of crude product by problem solving and altering the solvent from methyl tert-butyl ether to hexane found through literature search, which ultimately was used to purify and obtain.
