I graduated with my bachelors degree in chemistry from Old Dominion University (2020-2022) where I worked under Dr. Kyle Lambert. My research there focused on developing new methods of borrowing hydrogen catalysis inspired by alkaloid natural products, and also developing a method for oxidizing thiols to disulfides with oxoammonium salts. My current research centers on the incorporation of "electronically active" spacers into metal halide materials, with a special emphasis on lead and tin iodides.
