 Research description:

The goal of my current work is to determine the effects of hydration on ion conductivity in polymeric membranes. By studying ion transport in materials with different functionalities, network architecture, and water content, fundamental relationships can be elucidated which motivate the design of more selective and conductive membranes and electrolyte materials.

Bio:

I grew up just outside of Chicago, IL and studied Materials Science and Engineering at Northwestern University. During my undergraduate degree, I investigated ultrasonic spray-coating methods for development of polymeric drug-eluting vascular stents and disulfide mechanochromism in epoxy-amine thermosets in Prof. Guillermo Ameer's and Prof. Ken Shull's labs, respectively. Outside of the lab, I enjoy biking around the Santa Barbara area, reading, and playing bass guitar.
