Houston, Texas, United States

In my past role:I oversaw all activities of providing class’s safety during the experiments’ run, organized laboratory equipment prior to class, taught concepts related to each lab experiment, and checked students' benchtop setups for running the experiment, assessed their results, graded their lab reports, and designed quizzes. I held accountability for educating the general/organic chemistry laboratory, producing experiments, and teaching chemistry concepts.

In this position:I led efforts for planning novel approaches and methods to maximize pure phase single crystals and assessed coordination compounds′ magnetic behavior. I managed significant challenges of single-phase manufacturing copper (II) coordination compounds, solvothermal to find the optimum conditions to attain pure phases in the highest yield and with the best crystal quality. The following are my key achievements:● Synthesized pure phase Copper (II) coordination polymers, studied their magnetic behavior and characterized them using single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, IR, Raman, TGA, and chemical analysis methods. ● Utilized specific classified magnetic models based on the structure of each compound, quantum mechanics equations, computational techniques, and in-house software, experimental data were fitted to calculate the coupling constants between copper (II) centers, and identifying the magnetostructure correlation of the polynuclear compounds.● Controlled all endeavors of synthesizing and characterizing iron chalcogenide, investigated their superconductivity and studied the intercalation of metal hydroxide to improve their superconducting properties.
