Research description:
I am interested in understanding the role that charge characteristics and local environmental conditions have on local hydration dynamics in separation membranes and polyelectrolyte solutions.
Bio:
I grew up in New Jersey and completed my bachelor’s degree at University of Delaware, where I worked on biomass catalysis. I then moved to Chicago where I attained my Ph.D. at Northwestern University utilizing single-molecule methods to investigate concentrated solutions of associative polymers under the guidance of Prof. Muzhou (Mitchell) Wang. Along the way, I picked up an appreciation for good pizza and an abundance of (often bad) professional sports teams. Outside of the lab, you can find me watching those teams, hiking in the nearby mountains, reading science fiction novels, or playing board games.
