West Lafayette, Indiana, United States

Working with Prof. Kendra Erk in the Soft Materials Mechanics Group at Purdue MSE. My project involves characterizing the rheo-physical behavior of concentrated surfactant solutions.

Mason, Ohio, United States

Developed a mechanistic understanding of polymer‑surfactant chemistry and associated interactions on the performance of soluble unit dose cleaning products. Explored physiochemical interactions between new actives, their surfactant‑based formulations, and substrates of interest to identify the main physiochemical drivers to enhance deposition.

Corporate Engineering Technical Laboratories (CETL)

Worked with Seth Lindberg and Marco Caggioni to develop tools for in-situ characterization of surfactant phase behavior. Leveraged short-wave Infrared (SWIR) imaging and cross-polarized microscopy to build the Dynamic Diffusive Interfacial Transport (D-DIT) technique. This device can also be used to track water transport during drying and dissolution.
