I graduated from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities in 2024 with a B.S. in Chemistry and minors in Sustainability Studies and Computer Science. During my undergraduate, I worked in the lab of Dr. Ian Tonks, where I did research in homogeneous titanium catalysts for conversions of alkynes and amines into imines and pyrroles. I also spent a summer working at Clemson University in Dr. Thao Tran's lab researching noncentrosymmetric bismuthide telluride compounds. My current research in the Kanatzidis group focuses on the photoemission properties of lead halide perovskites.
