Designed, researched, and wrote two separate theses for chemistry and history over the period of senior year for the degree fulfillment of the Bachelor of Science at Washington College. My chemistry thesis continued my summer research and characterized an unknown active compound with shown antibiotic activity against Paenibacillus Larvae using liquid-liquid partitions, liquid chromatography techniques, and mass spectrometry data analysis. My history thesis was an analysis of the early Safavid empire, and argued the formation of the early state emerged from tribal politics characteristic of early 16th century Iran with religion as their cohesive basis from the Safaviyya religious order. Both theses were presented in separate poster sessions and approved by faculty.
