I received my PhD in Inorganic Chemistry from Wichita State University in 2007 while working in the group of Dr. David Eichhorn. From 2009-2019 I worked in the Crystallography Facility at the University of California, San Diego first as a Post-Doc, then Facility Scientist, and ultimately the Director, growing the facility to one of the largest Academic facilities in the world with the help of the department and other scientists working in the facility. I joined The Ohio State University at the beginning of 2019 to help them grow a world-class diffraction facility. My specialties include student instruction, crystallization of problematic molecules, twinning, complex disorder problems, as well as diffractometer maintenance and repair.
