ABOUT
I am a Research Scientist and a Jefferson Scholars Professorship Fellow at the University of Virginia, studying the development of polymeric nanomaterials for controlled delivery of therapeutics in Prof. Evan Scott’s group. I performed my postdoctoral research with Prof. Erin Stache at Princeton University, where I developed new strategies in radical transformations by transition metal catalysis. I received my PhD in Chemistry from Carnegie Mellon University with Prof. Krzysztof Matyjaszewski, studying externally controlled radical polymerization.
