Designing new ways to expand the impact of our research and challenge our perspective of our world
I am an Applied Physicist Ph.D. with extensive expertise in optical path development for diffraction-limited spectroscopy, microscopy, PIC device validation, and spectroelectrochemistry for sensing chemistry at the nanoscale.
ABOUT ME
I am an Applied Physicist PhD with extensive expertise in optical path development for diffraction-limited spectroscopy, microscopy, PIC device validation, and spectroelectrochemistry for sensing chemistry at the nanoscale. I have extensive expertise in using correlated spectroelectrochemical techniques to report on environmental changes and chemistry occurring at interfaces. I work in a collaborative manner that fosters scientific progress across disciplines.
As a member of the Association of Women in Science, the Electrochemical Society, and the American Chemical Society, I strive to improve the scientific literacy of the general public and encourage young scientists, especially women, to pursue careers in STEM fields.
My key competencies include:
– Spectroscopy
– Electrochemistry
– Electron Microscopy
– Materials development and characterization
– Optical system building and development
– Signal Processing
– Python and Matlab programming languages
