Highlight quote

"At ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø I was perhaps inspired, maybe forced, or somehow convinced that I had to look at my academic strategy critically and decide for myself what I was doing with my four years."

Current projects

I am a Graduate Assistant performing research and teaching duties as part of my PhD program in Chemistry. ÌýMy current Research focus/Project is "Controlled Synthesis of Metal and Oxide Hybrid Nanoparticles for Catalysis"Ìý

Undergraduate Research

I worked under Dr. Courtney Hatch, my project name was ":Ìý Effects of mineral aerosol heterogeneous chemistry on ocean bioproductivity and atmospheric chemistry and climate."

How ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø prepared me for success

At ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø I developed a strong and justified confidence in my research skills. ÌýThe liberal arts approach at ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø gave me the practical skills required to navigate any chemistry lab, but also the critical thinking experience to maintain a healthy skepticism, of published reports as well as my own results, necessary to be a good scientist.

Future plans

I can see myself happy in a wide variety of professions, though my first choice would be to work at a place as wonderful as ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø College.

Future plans

It's not too late to do what you want.
