A PhD in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering with expertise in computational and theoretical study of soft materials, charged polymers, and colloidal suspensions. Has 10+ years of research experience at Cornell University, Duke University, and Stony Brook University. Served as a Postdoctoral Research Associate and IDEA Faculty Fellow, developing models for dynamic and rheological behavior of charged polymers. Proficient in simulation tools and experimental techniques (DLS, IR spectroscopy, TEM). Recipient of NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and Cornell Colman Fellowship. Published research on diffusion in colloidal suspensions and liquid coacervates, with a focus on applications in oil and gas, dementia research, and ion-conducting polymers.
