Ph.D. candidate in Chemistry with expertise in porous materials.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Ph.D. candidate in Chemistry at Indiana University, specializing in the design and synthesis of advanced porous materials. My research focuses on small molecule storage, separation, and activation, where I have successfully developed novel frameworks and polymers that enhance material efficiency and reduce costs. As a NSF Graduate Research Fellow, I have honed my skills in various characterization techniques, including NMR, LC-MS, and FT-IR, to analyze complex molecular structures.
Throughout my academic journey, I have collaborated with diverse teams, contributing to significant projects that bridge theoretical research with practical applications. My internship at Corning, Inc. allowed me to apply my academic knowledge in an industrial setting, where I developed innovative methods for material characterization. I am passionate about advancing the field of chemistry through research and mentorship, guiding undergraduate and junior graduate students in their scientific endeavors.
