About Me
I am an incoming Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Drexel University (Jan. 2025). Currently, I am a postdoc working with Ram Seshadri and Michael Chabinyc at UC Santa Barbara, where I am investigating the fundamental structure-property relationships of (hybrid) metal halide perovskites.
I received my Ph.D. in Chemistry in 2021 from Northwestern University, where I worked with Richard Schaller studying the photophysical properties of semiconductor nanoparticles using ultrafast spectroscopy. I grew up in Brookline, MA and then attended Tufts University for my undergraduate studies in chemistry and mathematics. While there, I fell in love with research through my studies of single-crystal ice growth in the lab of Mary Jane Shultz. Outside of academics, I like to dance, read, and crochet, as well as solve all kinds of puzzles: jigsaw puzzles, crossword puzzles, and of course the daily Spelling Bee. I also spend a lot of my time dreaming about having a cat one day. |
