Chemistry PhD Candidate | Lehnert Group

Worked as a contract organic chemist at SABIC developing high valued specialty polymer materials with improved thermal and mechanical properties.

Worked to develop and characterize novel polymer systems for underwater adhesive applications.

I worked in the Chemistry Resource Room at Purdue tutoring undergraduate students in most topics of chemistry including general, organic, analytical, inorganic and physical chemistry courses.

Worked as an undergraduate research assistant in Doctor Wilker’s group working on polymer synthesis of adhesives, with a specific focus towards synthetic adhesives designed from those naturally produced by marine mussels.

I implemented solid state chemistry techniques in order to attempt to synthesize new inorganic complexes for the potential study of their magnetic properties. This work was done with an overall goal of developing compounds with magnetic properties that would be ideal for magnetic refrigeration.

I was responsible for preserving a clean and sterile environment for cell cultures in compliance with state and federal regulations. I was also responsible for maintaining and updating inventory within the laboratory.

As a business development intern, I worked with a team of other interns towards developing and implementing ideas towards expanding business practices that were primarily aimed towards the next generation of consumers.
