0009-0005-8070-8811 About
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Chemistry at Georgetown University whose research focuses on polymer chemistry, soft materials, and functional organic materials. My work combines molecular design, synthesis, and multi-technique characterization to develop materials with tunable mechanical, electronic, and environmental responses.
My current research centers on adaptive slide-ring polymer networks, including pH-responsive hydrogels in which molecular interactions regulate stress dissipation, mechanical recovery, and electromechanical behavior. I also work on azaacene-based conjugated polymers and macrocyclic materials for thermoelectronic and bioelectronic applications. My research uses synthetic chemistry alongside NMR, FTIR, UV–Vis, PXRD, TGA, mechanical testing, and computational/data-analysis approaches to establish relationships between molecular structure and bulk material performance.
I am interested in designing scalable, high-performance polymer systems for energy, electronics, sensing, and sustainable advanced-materials applications. I have contributed to peer-reviewed publications in Chemical Science and Chemical Communications, as well as a book chapter in the Springer Handbook of Functional Polymers.
