I am a recent graduate from The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and a triple minor in Business, Computational Science and Engineering, and Spanish. I graduated with Cum Laude honors and with High Distinction in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at Rice University.My Ph.D. research focuses on the electrochemical transformation of CO2 and H2O to valuable fuels and chemicals, in efforts to close the carbon cycle. This constitutes a promising technology to accelerate the energy transition. My main investigations are directed towards creating efficient and stable electrocatalysts.Other than my Ph.D. research, I am passionate about coding. I love to be able to come across problems and use my knowledge of computation science to solve them. My programing experience extends to Java, Python, Julia, SQL, C++, and MATLAB.Previously, I interned at Kairos Power, where I proposed a unique flow measurement solution to help control the heat transfer system of a nuclear reactor. I also worked with Shell Oil Company as a control systems engineer intern. There, I got the chance to learn the ins and outs of an oil refinery and work to improve the control processes within the refinery. I have also had experience working on polymers with Henkel in their adhesives industry. There, I worked in a research lab, performing reactions of polyurethane hotmelt adhesives to observe the use and effects of an adhesion promoter to create a product with excellent adhesion between organic materials and metals (see my PowerPoint on it under my experience at Henkel).
