I conduct research under Dr. Lauren Marbella to characterize and optimize the performance of next generation, high-capacity battery cathodes such as NMC811. These cathodes contain low amounts of the critical mineral, cobalt to minimize geopolitical concerns related to its acquisition. I leverage galvanostatic cycling of Li-ion batteries in coordination.

Manhattan, New York, United States

I am the liaison between the PhD student body and faculty/staff in the chemical engineering department. I communicate the concerns and/or comments from underrepresented peers to the DEI committee.

CORE^2 is a student-run organization. We foster a network of academic, professional, and social support for traditionally underrepresented minorities (URM) in engineering. Our initiatives include hosting networking conferences, hosting culturally-inspired social events, and making members aware of school-wide academic resources.As president, I oversee club.

New York, United States

I was among 200 people selected from around the globe to ideate and develop solutions towards the United Nation’s sustainability development goals (SDGs). I participated in a leadership development series leading up to the main program. This experience is a component of UNITE 2030's inaugural Camp 2030 innovation and leadership hackathon. My hackathon team.

I collaborated with American Society professionals in the chemical field to mentor high school students interested in pursuing a chemistry-related field in higher education. I facilitated tri-weekly meetings over the summer to refine their professional and academic skills while helping them hone their interests. At the end of the program I guided them as.

ESW is a community-based club that inspires its network of environmentally-passionate members to develop sustainability projects that will be implemented in our community. As a a board member of ESW at UC Irvine since 2018, some of my main responsibilities included planning general meetings, developing member retention strategies and collaborating with.

As a means of virtually continuing research amidst the COVID-19 global pandemic, learned how to use COMSOL to simulate the multiphase flow of gaseous methane in a turbulent molten salt bubble reactor for Dr. Eric McFarland's research lab. My simulation provides a more detailed analysis of the team's partial methane combustion process and it allows us to.

Irvine, California

I was a crucial developer in a patented heat recycling scheme that I helped apply to a portable, solar-driven, water desalination device. I conducted comprehensive experimental and theoretical analyses while utilizing thermodynamic and mass transfer relationships to test my research team's potential designs for our water distribution device that could.

Irvine, California

I was a peer tutor/learning resource for students taking Earth System Science: Catasphrophies. I attended discussion and lectures, answered students' questions, and challenged their understanding of the concepts through extended discussions of the topics. I implented collaborative learning techniques to help students retain information more effectively.

Irvine, California

I was a student mentor for the sixth annual Student Institute for Sustainability Leadership (SISL) three-day program. Myself and four other mentors facilitated small groups and workshops that taught incoming UC Irvine students about the significance of leading sustainable lifestyles. I guided discussions and helped students comprehend the nuances of.

Irvine, California

I set up donation boxes in various housing units on the UC Irvine campus, and I helped sort through students' donated items. Later, their donations were transported to local Goodwill bins.

Irvine, California And San Jose, Costa Rica

UCI students were chosen to conduct sustainable research, learn about biodiversity, and immerse ourselves in the Costa Rican culture. We spent a quarter learning about why Costa Rica is known as the green capital of the world, and we chose what we wanted to research in-country. I used qualitative methods to study how various agriculture techniques affect.

Irvine, California

I studied the energies of gaseous, ground-state and excited-state molecules in solvation systems. The programs that I used to analyze the energy gradients of my molecules were COSMO and Turbomole. I wrote numerical assessment codes with Matlab to determine whether the outlying charge error associated with complex, anionic molecules was significant enough.
