I am a PhD student at Stanford University in the Dauskardt Lab and an NSF GRFP Fellow, specializing in the study of human skin. My research centers on understanding the skin’s integral roles in biological protection and regulation, and how molecules penetrate the stratum corneum under the influence of cosmetics and UV exposure. Employing sophisticated tools like FTIR-ATR spectroscopy, I aim to make skincare and transdermal drug delivery systems more effective and environmentally friendly. Building on my prior experience with thermogalvanic batteries at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, I continue to explore new materials that can bridge the gap between energy sustainability and healthcare advancements. My work is dedicated to developing solutions that enhance human health while preserving our planet.
