- Edited scientific manuscripts written by non-native English speakers in the following areas: Catalysis, Nanoscience, Materials Science, Electrochemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Cement Chemistry

- Taught General Chemistry II to over 200 students- Collaborated with General Chemistry team to plan lectures, write/administer/grade exams, and implement/assess educational technology tools, which included Canvas, iClicker, and Gradescope - Assisted students during weekly review sessions and one-on-one meetings

- Designed and delivered general chemistry lectures, resulting in 50% of students scoring at or above 60th percentile on national standardized assessment- Taught general chemistry lab courses, focusing on building consistent experimental technique and data analysis using Microsoft Excel- Earned top performance evaluation ratings from students, including 4.4/5 for timeliness, 4.6/5 for use of technology, and 4.6/5 for respect shown to students - Redesigned remedial chemistry course using peer-reviewed pedagogical techniques to improve success rate of lower-performing students

- Developed an electrochemical alkane dehydrogenation method that proceeds at room temperature and does not require a sacrificial hydrogen acceptor- Synthesized novel cationic iridium hydrides using air-free techniques - Characterized and assessed purity of chemical substances using 2-D Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV)- Presented weekly research updates via videoconference to interdisciplinary team of scientists spanning multiple universities (as part of the Center for Enabling New Technologies through Catalysis, an NSF Center for Chemical Innovation)- Maintained digital and paper records of data, experiments, and meetings- Used inventory management software to track use of 2300+ chemicals used by ~20 researchers; helped implement barcode tracking system for all chemicals in inventory Laboratory Techniques: - air-free synthesis (glovebox, Schlenk line) - cyclic voltammetry - controlled potential electrolysis Instrumentation: - NMR (Bruker) - FT-IR- Potentiostat (Wavedriver, WaveNow - Pine Instruments)

- Taught Chemistry 101 Lab for two semesters (approximately 100 students) - Planned and presented weekly prelab lectures- Demonstrated laboratory techniques - Enforced laboratory safety protocols - Graded laboratory reports according to a standardized rubric

- Assisted the professor in teaching General Chemistry Lab, Organic Chemistry Lab, and Art, Color, and Chemistry Lab- Demonstrated laboratory safety and experimental techniques - Assisted students in the preparation of laboratory reports- Taught weekly review sessions in a lecture setting

- Performed text analysis on The Two Noble Kinsmen, a play co-written by William Shakespeare and John Fletcher, to elucidate the nature of their collaboration - Assisted in developing Rolling Window Analysis, a new iteration of traditional cluster analysis A more detailed description of Lexomics and the ongoing projects at Wheaton can be found at the following link: http://wheatoncollege.edu/lexomics/

- Conducted an inventory of pre-1865 books to determine condition; determined which should be removed from circulation and placed in Special Collections - Researched histories of Wheaton College alumni- Performed general maintenance tasks for the library archives

- Performed a substrate scope for a Ni(dppf)(o-tol)(Cl) complex to test its catalytic activity in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of aryl sulfamates with aryl boronic acids. - Synthesized, extracted, and purified sulfamate substrates for the reaction- Synthesized three additional nickel complexes for later substrate scope analysis- Presented research in an oral presentation at the Leadership Alliance National Symposium in Stamford, CT

- Cross-linked quinone compounds to reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to simulate the linking of redox-active carbon dioxide reduction catalysts to rGO- Presented research at the Leadership Alliance National Symposium in Stamford, Connecticut.
