Research Synopsis

My training has been at the intersection of polymer and organic chemistry to design and improve novel materials for sensing toxic water contaminants. Additionally, I have experience in developing curriculum for organic laboratory courses and polymer outreach activities. My current interests lie in curriculum development for large introductory courses. I am committed to finding and implementing effective teaching methods that promote student engagement and develop their critical thinking skills.
