Profile

I graduated from Wake Forest University in 2022 with a B.S. in chemistry and a minor mathematics. As an undergraduate working under Prof. Scott M. Geyer, I performed research on the photocatalytic efficiency and synthesis of Cs3Bi2Br9 perovskite nanocrystals for the purpose of the remediation of organic pollutants in aqueous environments. At Northwestern I am jointly advised by Prof. Mercouri G. Kanatzidis and Prof. Edward H. Sargent, where my research focuses on perovskite materials and their applications in photovoltaic devices.
