Research interests:
My current research focuses on the compatibilization of immiscible polymer blends through ionic interactions.
Bio:
I grew up in Medan, Indonesia before coming to the U.S. as an undergraduate to study chemical engineering at the University of Minnesota. During my time at UMN, I worked in the labs of Prof. Frank Bates and Prof. Timothy Lodge, where I studied how chemical modification of methylcellulose influences its gelation, phase separation, and fibril formation behavior in aqueous solutions, and the phase behavior of architecturally asymmetric diblock copolymers. I enjoy playing badminton and exploring new movies and TV shows.
