+ Structured and gained department funding to launch an experiential fellowship inside the IME to educate researchers on the process of commercializing laboratory technology. + The fellows work closely with the University of Chicago Tech Transfer Office conducting diligence on pre-IP technology, actively aiding in diligence disclosures and participating in post IP development of the technology into a commercially viable entity.

+ Experimentation in the field of directed self-assembly of block co-polymers for energy storage applications

+ Conducted research in the field of directed self assembly (DSA) polymer systems for solid state electrolytes.

+Performed due diligence on seed-stage companies applying for funding with the Chicago Innovation Fund.+Continuing member of the larger Chicago Innovation community.

+ Developed the next generation ITO substitutes for flexible electronics.

+ Worked with materials science affiliated companies to better guide undergraduate students towards their ideal futures.+ Oversaw the organization of information sessions, seminars, and speaker panels throughout the semester.

+ Synthesized anode intercalation materials for high rate Li-ion battery design.+ Established a full cell rate cycling protocol for dendrite growth analysis. + Characterized materials with XRD, SEM, TEM, and cyclic Voltammetry.+ Authored three publications.

+ Diagnosed potential intermetallic catalysts for low temperature fuel cells using the Fluorescence Assay system designed by the Van Dover Group.

+ Led the proof of concept design for an all green VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) PAV (Personal Aircraft Vehicle). + Calculated and applied the necessary power and energy densities required for flight.

+ Optimized electrode composition and fabrication processes.+ Created cathode and anode intercalation compounds and assembled coin cells in a vacuum glove box. + Characterized the synthesized materials by Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), battery cycler, Cyclic Voltometry, and XRD.

+ Worked on surface modification / scale-up process of TiO2 nano-particles.+ Designed a pH alteration system that resulted in an increase of production.
