Design and investigation of highly porous materials for next generation sorbents.

Fort Collins, Colorado, United States

I perform research at the intersection of polymer chemistry and photoredox catalysis developing energy efficient polymerizations to make plastics more sustainably in the future. To achieve this goal, my research involves understanding the mechanism of an exciting new polymerization method - organocatalyzed atom transfer radical polymerization - to improve.

Fort Collins, Colorado, United States

I co-taught a senior seminar course for chemistry majors with professor Garret Miyake. Topics covered in the course included reading and critically analyzing scientific literature, searching the literature, giving scientific presentations, and ethics in science.

Fort Collins, Colorado, United States

I taught two sections of Chemistry 114 lab per semester, with each section containing roughly 24 students. As part of my duties, I held two office hours weekly to assist any of the general chemistry students at the university. Topics covered included stoichiometry, solubility, kinetics, thermodynamics, equilibria, redox reactions, electrochemistry, and more.

Harrisonburg, Virginia, United States

I was an undergraduate teaching assistant for the general chemistry and organic chemistry teaching labs in the Department of Chemistry at James Madison University. My duties included assisting professors during class by answering questions and keeping all chemicals and materials stocked, as well as preparing chemicals and supplies prior to class each week..

Harrisonburg, Virginia, United States

I developed new materials for solar cell applications, with the ultimate goal of creating a highly efficient, low-cost solar cell. To achieve this goal, my research involved synthesizing and characterizing new metal-containing polymers to understand how incorporation of metals into the polymer backbone impacted donor-acceptor charge transfer characteristics.

Budapest, Hungary

I participated in an international research experience for undergraduates funded by the National Science Foundation. While in Budapest, I worked under professors Timothy Peelen and Zoltán Novák studying novel copper (I) photocatalysts as sustainable replacements to ruthenium based photocatalysts.
