Bio Sketch
My current research involves exploring photochemical reduction of carbon dioxide using synthetic mini enzymes, as well as electrochemical nitrate-nitrite reduction with small molecular transition metal catalysts. Both projects aim to address critical environmental challenges through innovative and green chemical processes.
Outside of the lab, I am passionate about reading, dancing, and writing, interests that fuel my creativity and keep me inspired. I welcome opportunities to connect with others who share a curiosity for science and a love for exploring new ideas!
If I were a cobalt complex I'd be "Cobaltocene", as its symmetrical, deep purple and always thriving on balanced energy!🔮
