I am currently completing my PhD in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at The Johns Hopkins University (with a planned graduation date of May 2025). My research is in the field of computational materials design and modeling for nanomaterials and chemical processes for various energy and catalysis applications. I previously received my Bachelors degree in Chemical Engineering from Rutgers University with a double minor in Music and Mathematics. I always work hard to apply my creativity, knowledge, and past experiences to effectively solve problems while working with others.My thesis work focuses on the application of mathematical modeling, computational chemistry, and physics to solve problems in nanomaterials development and process engineering for bioplastics production. As we face large-scale issues like climate change, I believe it is our responsibility to apply time and effort towards innovation and development in existing materials and chemical processes in an effort to create meaningful changes to existing systems. My previous research areas and internship projects include the application of mass transfer models to powder processing equipment and the kinetic modeling of catalytic converters.Outside of research, I enjoy teaching and working in student activities and event planning. During my undergraduate studies at Rutgers, I served as a study group leader/lab assistant for various courses in physics and chemical engineering. I also was involved with extracurricular groups working on various engineering projects. During my time at Johns Hopkins, I have been able to serve as a co-instructor for an introductory computer programming course for engineering graduate students. I have also served as the Treasurer and then Co-Chair of the Graduate Representative Organization at the university's Homewood Campus, where I was able to contribute my efforts to support the entire community of graduate students. In all the work I do, I am extremely passionate in being a reliable team member and making sure that I meaningfully contribute to projects and initiatives that I care about.
