I'm passionate about building practical solutions to environmental problems. These problems are not just about science and engineering: they're inextricably linked to justice, health, and every other aspect of human existence. I'm energized to be alive at a time when societies across the world are earnestly reckoning with these issues and are committing significant resources to remedy them.I consider myself highly fortunate to have had the opportunity to study and conduct research in some of world's top academic institutions in Earth Sciences, Chemical Engineering, and the Liberal Arts. At Sciences Po and Columbia, I gained a broad perspective on economics and governance, while being introduced to the climate change solution of carbon storage using minerals. My doctoral dissertation at CU-Boulder focused on microbial and abiotic production of methane in alkaline and reduced waters. At Penn, I researched the use of alkaline rocks and industrial wastes for carbon capture, utilization, and storage, including direct air capture.Now I'm leading a company, Uplift Geosystems, where we’re on a mission to enable clean and low-cost battery metals production using our patent-pending chemical recycling device. By updating decades-old metallurgical processes with the latest advances in electrochemical membrane technology, we're increasing the accessibility of electric vehicles from the ground up.
