Recent graduate from the University of Pittsburgh, and current PhD student at the University of Minnesota's chemical engineering department.During my undergrad, I worked in Dr. Judy Yang's research group as an undergraduate researcher. During my time working for Dr. Yang, I developed new methods and code that automated and greatly reduced the processing time of ETEM videos from days to hours. This reduction allowed us to better utilize the capabilities of the ETEM to gain atomic-scale real time understanding of reaction mechanisms by rendering the large amount of data more usable. The work from this project has been published in Nature Communications.After about a year of research with Dr. Yang, I spent a year on co-op with Covestro at one of their chemical production plants in West Virginia. During that year, I helped lead dozens of small processes changes, as well as a few larger projects such coding changes to our safety critical systems. More recently after returning to the University of Pittsburgh, I have joined the Velankar Lab Group to am conduct research on a polymer with novel applications to desalination. I have developed and refined experimental methods for our polymer phase behavior research, and I have even designed and assembled a rotor assembly for the crystallization experiments of two-phase crystallization samples that allows dilatometry of multiple samples with active stirring.
