I'm a PhD student in Chemistry, fascinated by the potential of bio-nano hybrid systems to address energy challenges. My current research is centered on understanding the fundamental interactions and processes within these systems, particularly those designed for photochemical hydrogen production. I'm driven by the prospect of unraveling the complexities of these hybrid systems to unlock their full potential for sustainable energy applications.

My undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from George Mason University provided me with a solid foundation in the biological sciences. This background, combined with my passion for chemistry, has equipped me to explore the exciting interface between living organisms and nanomaterials.

Outside of the lab, I find joy in expressing my creativity through various arts and crafts. It's a fantastic way to de-stress and tap into a different side of my brain. I'm also an avid reader, particularly drawn to the imaginative worlds of fiction.
