Berkeley, California, United States
A second-year PhD candidate in the Long Group at the University of California, Berkeley. Passionate about clean energy, and interested in slowing climate change through developing new materials as a synthetic inorganic chemist. Current research focuses on the design of porous materials for high-temperature point source capture of carbon dioxide. Graduate of the University of Washington (UW) with strong background in organic and inorganic synthesis, working on multidimensional synthetic materials such as metal–organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks with Professors Dianne Xiao (UW), and Yunyan Qiu (National University of Singapore). Highly self-motivated and dedicated to sharing a love of chemistry, exhibited through dedication to research, mentorship, and community outreach.
Synthesis of highly tunable one-dimensional metal–organic chains for the investigation of charge transport and magnetism structure-property relationships in metal–organic frameworks.
Bottom-up synthesis and characterization of monolayer 2D covalent organic frameworks using interfacial synthetic techniques. Focus of work included the organic synthesis of crown ether-based monomer molecules.
