Profile

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Whitewater in 2021 with a B.S. in chemistry and a B.S. in applied mathematics. While there, I worked under Dr. Paul House on identifying reaction products of simulated wastewater treatment with pharmaceuticals and personal care products. I also spent a summer working under Dr. Prashant Singh at Ames National Laboratory, creating a machine learning model that can accurately predict structural properties of high-entropy alloys. In 2023, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee with a M.S. in chemistry. Under the guidance of Dr. Jarett Wilcoxen, I studied the structure and function of nitrate reductase metalloenzymes via electron paramagnetic resonance and kinetic analysis. My current research focuses on synthesis and characterization of neutron-detecting materials.
