Research Associate
I am a postdoctoral research associate (PDRA) in the group of Professor Oren Scherman at the University of Cambridge in the Melville Department of Polymer Chemistry. Before coming to Cambridge, I received a PhD in chemistry with a concentration in physical chemistry from the University of Michigan with advisor Professor Raoul Kopelman. Broadly speaking, my research interests intersect supramolecular chemistry/nanoscience/polymer science and spectroscopy/microscopy, with a variety of branches into other disciplines (biomedical engineering, photonics, condensed matter, etc.).
