• Led a team that created a low-cost, scalable route to a key API intermediate, which is currently being implemented in a synthetic campaign in support of clinical trials
• Conducted the technical project management activities, which includes regular updates to resource allocation and deliverable trackers
• Created a custom Python module and website frontend for cost/waste assessment of arbitrarily complex synthetic routes (https://github.com/rnelsonchem/costcalc2)

Department Of Chemistry

I participated in a collaborative effort to upgrade bio-oils derived from renewable wood pulp. My role was to investigate materials that will ultimately improve the chemical and mechanical properties of the raw oils. I developed several mechanistic experiments using labeled substrates, which produced a large body of experimental data. By developing novel.

Department Of Chemistry

I executed a large number of high-level computations on a class of biologically-inspired molecules. To tackle complexity of this data, I development several novel data analyses that led to the identification of the molecular properties most strongly correlated to the experimental data. Courses Taught: Chemical Analysis Lecture and Laboratory, Instrumental.

Chemical Sciences And Engineering Division

I designed a reaction cell for studying materials in solution using high-energy X-rays at one of Argonne's unique user facilities. Collaborations with several research groups using this newly-designed cell led to a number of joint publications. I also wrote a short perspective review to introduce this X-ray technique to a broader scientific audience. In.

Department Of Chemical Engineering

My research focused creating and understanding synthetic mimics of important industrial catalysts. The well-defined nature of these materials provided unprecedented insights into these more complex industrial materials. I made use of a broad range of synthetic and analytical techniques for this work, and in addition, I maintained a Linux-based computer.

Institute For Chemical And Bioengineering

As part of a technology transfer program from my job in Santa Barbara, I spent a summer working with a preeminent research group in Zurich, Switzerland. While there, I prepared and tested a family of materials that are related to automobile catalytic converters. I learned and applied several advanced X-ray characterization techniques, and this work led to.

Doctor Of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Chemistry

I was involved in the early development of a new class of molecules that had potential to facilitate production of biologically active.

Bachelor Of Arts (B.A.), Chemistry

I participated in a research project for over three years of my undergraduate career. My work led to an improved synthesis of a highly.
