I graduated from Canisius College in 2023 with a B.S. in Chemistry. While at Canisius, I worked in Dr. Phillip Sheridan's lab studying lithium and sodium isocyanates in addition to the alkaline earth metal thiocyanates. With these projects, I used many computational methods to determine the most stable isomer for each species as well as attempted to synthesize and detect calcium thiocyanate in the vapor phase. In the Kanatzidis group, I will be working on the exploratory synthesis of chalcogenides.
