Hi! Have you gotten one of my stickers before? I'm a sophomore in Materials Engineering enthusiastic about all things synthesis, characterization and processing. I'm passionate about advancing materials science through practical learning and looking to explore intersectional approaches to anything from aerospace, ceramics and composites, to nanotechnology, semiconductors or polymers! As a research assistant in Professor E Marinero's Energy Storage Group, I've investigated MXene polymer electrolytes in batteries and completed a literature review under Professor S Bansal's lab for novel thermoelectric materials using halide perovskites for HI Advanced Packaging in the SCALE microelectronics program. I like to dedicate my spare time to outreach and community service or engage in my several hobbies (jewelry making, longboarding, sewing and sometimes blacksmithing). If anything here piques your interest, do reach out! Let me know which era your sticker comes from :D
Marinero Group • Synthesized and prepared MXene polymer membranes to create coin cell batteries (LiTFSi, MoTi compounds) as a safer and more efficient alternative to liquid Li+ electrolyte • Performed electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to measure ionic conductivity and resistance • Collaborated with other lab assistants to process and compile data for clear communication • Trained for hydrofluoric acid use
• Aiming to increase efficacy in topical thermoelectrics for advanced packages to use in conjunction with immersion cooling, converting dissipated heat into stored electrical energy • Completed literature review under title “Evaluation of Novel Materials for Solid State Cooling of 3D HI Advanced Packages • Primary focus to increase the figure of merit (Zt) value for halide perovskites series as opposed to general inorganics (eg Bi2Te3)
