Research

I graduated with my bachelor's degree in chemistry from Clarkson University in 2025. While at Clarkson, I worked under Dr. Kaho Leung where I worked to develop luminescent probes for subcellular ion detection. I primarily focused on the synthesis of iridium (III) complexes and small organic molecules for chloride detection. In the Kanatzidis group, I plan to focus on the synthesis of perovskites and perovskitoids for solar energy conversion.
