About

Second year Chemistry PhD candidate with 2 years of experience in synthetic organic chemistry. In my undergraduate research, I synthesized functionalized cyclic amines — a prominent motif in desirable pharmaceutical agents — through cyclic imine building blocks and acridine photocatalysis. For my PhD, I aim to apply my skills from small-molecule synthesis to the macromolecular scale.
