About

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Prof. Mirica's Lab in the Department of Chemistry at UIUC. My current research focuses on developing organic and bioinorganic agents for brain imaging and diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Primary research goal is to develop clinically applicable agents for the early diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease using advanced diagnostic and therapeutic agents.
