I am a second year Ph.D. student in the Department of Chemistry, where I am studying polymer chemistry in Professor Matt Golder’s laboratory. My research is focused on the development of more delicately controlled cyclic polymerization processes with the goal of synthesizing cyclic block polymers. Ultimately, these polymers will have applications as polyelectrolytes in lithium-ion batteries and should be more stable and processable than their linear counterparts. Outside of work, I spend a lot of time in the mountains hiking and backpacking, as well as dancing and reading.
