Gaithersburg, Maryland, United States

I am the team lead for neutron and x-ray scattering measurements in the Early-stage Materials Testing Laboratory (EMTL), focused on developing new materials for carbon capture (in the group of Prof. Jeff Long, Berkeley). http://alchemy.cchem.berkeley.edu/group-members/

Gaithersburg, Maryland, United States

As an employee of UC Berkeley, I am jointly appointed as a research associate at the NIST Center for Neutron Research, where I conduct in operando neutron and X-ray scattering measurements to investigate materials for carbon capture, gas phase separations, and condensed matter systems with applications in magnetism, superconductivity, and quantum.

As a researcher III in the Hydrogen Materials Advanced Research Consortium (HyMARC) at NREL, I conducted neutron scattering measurements at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) on materials for hydrogen storage and other renewable energy end use applications.

NIST Center For Neutron Research | Gaithersberg, MD

As an NREL postdoc, I worked remotely full time at the NIST Center for Neutron Research. At the NCNR, I supported the Hydrogen Materials Advanced Research Consortium (HyMARC) by conducting powder neutron diffraction, inelastic scattering, and quasielastic scattering experiments. I measured gas-dosed porous materials that are candidate hydrogen storage.

Evanston, IL

As a graduate student in the Freedman laboratory at Northwestern University, I studied materials at high applied pressures. I synthesized a new perovskite, bismuth vanadium oxide, and studied the evolution of magnetism in a magnetically frustrated mineral called jarosite. My work led to three first-author publications, the first of which was featured on.

Chicago, IL

I examined the effects of peptide chirality on the formation and stability of coacervates. I synthesized poly(Lysine) and poly(Glutamic Acid) peptides with specific chiral patterns (for example LLDLLD...) and combined these peptides in solution. I examined the phase behavior of the resulting self-assembled complexes. My work may have implications for the.

Greater Chicago Area

I worked as a summer intern in the Energy Systems Division, in the Materials Engineering Research Facility. I worked with Greg Krumdick, and helped research and develop a novel scaled-up process for the production of ANL-RS2 (1,4-di-tert-butyl-2,5-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)benzene), an electrolyte additive in Lithium Ion batteries.
