​Welcome to my personal site, highlighting my scientific interests and experience!

I began research as an undergrad at the University of Delaware in the lab of Professor Jingguang Chen in the chemical engineering department. In the Chen lab I studied inexpensive catalyst materials which could serve as replacements for the platinum catalyst in fuel cells. 

During my graduate studies, I worked in the lab of Professor William Tisdale in the chemical engineering department at MIT. In the Tisdale lab I researched colloidal nanoparticles such as quantum dots and 2D perovskite nanomaterials. These new materials have shown promise in a variety of fields such as LEDs and photovoltaics. My work focused on understanding and improving the synthesis of these materials as well as how their self-assembly can be controlled at the nanoscale and the overall impact this has on performance. 

​Currently, I am a senior LiDAR engineer at Holosense Technologies in Bellevue, WA.
