I graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz, in December 2013.My senior thesis is titled, "Impact of Ferroalloy Plants on Household Dust Manganese Levels: Implications for Human Exposure." The dust samples were collected in the Province of Brescia (where the larger ongoing study is being conducted) and were sent to UCSC for analysis. The abstract was accepted by the Society of Toxicology (SOT). I presented the poster at the 53rd annual SOT meeting in Phoenix, Arizona on Spring of 2014. We published the results based on mine and my colleague's theses in "Environmental Research" in 2015I am interested in materials chemistry, energy conversion, catalysis and green chemistry.
