About

I am a Postdoctoral Scholar – Research Associate at the University of Southern California, having completed my PhD in Chemical Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology. My research focuses on cement chemistry, nanomaterials, and the durability of cementitious systems, with an emphasis on the use of nano-additives to enhance hydration, rheology, and resistance to environmental degradation in both Portland and calcium sulfoaluminate cements. I am experienced in advanced characterization techniques including TGA, XRD, and rheometry, and I am driven to apply these skills to innovative problems in materials science and engineering.
