- Completed a 4-month research project in the group of Professor Kathryn Preuss aimed at creating a 10-coordinate complex with La(III) using 1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolyl radical ligands. - Performed pre-established procedures for synthesizing 1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolyl radical ligands and lanthanide materials to produce the corresponding novel lanthanide-radical coordination complexes. - Employed inert atmosphere techniques (such as Schlenk line manipulations) to perform air- and moisture-sensitive chemistry. - Collaborated with other members of the Preuss group to solve research problems and coordinate laboratory schedules to ensure time was used effectively throughout the week. - Presented results to fellow peers and professors at the University of Guelph.

Guelph, Ontario, Canada

- Completed a 4-month research project in the group of Professor Marcel Schlaf aimed at creating a water-soluble hydrodeoxygenation catalyst.- Synthesized novel porphyrin ligands for applications as potential water-soluble hydrodeoxygenation catalysts. - Fully characterized novel porphyrin ligands using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, High-Resolution Liquid Chromotography-Mass Spectroscopy (LC-MS) and UV-Vis spectroscopy.- Improved experimental design to metalate the porphyrin ligands using ruthenium and iron. - Presented work to peers in a PowerPoint presentation during weekly group meetings to obtain feedback for constant development and improvement.
